12:34 is right, you said “largest” in your 12:23 posting, and that’s what 12:34 commented on. Bedford and Stuyvesant Heights do have far larger collections of brownstones than the Slope, and if people weren’t poorer in those areas, they would be just as nice as Dolkart’s comment makes the Slope out to be.
For you 12:34:
“No neighborhood in America has a finer and more intact collection of late 19th-century row houses than Park Slope,” notes architectural historian and Columbia University professor Andrew Dolkart. “Block after block is virtually unaltered, with houses ranging from grand townhouses designed by Brooklyn’s leading architects, to long rows of vernacular speculator-built housing designed by the obscure architects who provided character to so many urban neighborhoods.”
12:23 you are mistaken bed stuy has the largest collection of brownstones in the US.
btw i too live in the slope
market looks fine to me in brooklyn
All of Park Slope is prime, Brownstone Brooklyn in my opinion.
Park Slope is the largest intact enclave of late 19th century architecture in the COUNTRY.
So yes, 13th and 5th is a terrific area to some people, myself included.
12:04.
The 13st Street house is less than 2000 sf and has one bathroom.
You don’t think 1.49 million is a healthy price for that despite what they asked?
13th Street below 5th Avenue is prime Brownstone Brooklyn?
Do the people on Fiske Place and Grace Court know?
Who cares, its just paper losses, just like all of your equity you thought you had was paper gains.
Lifer will not change very much for 95% of us. You will still go to work, pay your mortgage, hang out with your kids, see your friends. Etc.
Civilization will not come to an end, and Brooklyn will not be overrun with roving street gangs of former Brownstone owners who are now homeless.
Get a grip people and stop worrying so much about what you think your house is worth yesterday vs. today.
A relatively decent (needs a little work but not much) full house on a nice block in prime Brownstone Brooklyn goes for over $200k less than ask and you people STILL won’t admit that the market is not great? Amazing. The 13th Street house still went for a healthy price, but clearly the days of being able to ask for the moon and then still get a bidding war are OVER. And if recent events are any indicator, this is just the beginning of the downturn.
