Open House Picks, 9/14/07 [Brownstoner]
No doubt that Unicorn comment came from some middle-aged North Sloper who bought 3 years ago for a huge premium and never ventured past 9th street to see what has been going on.
Now bitter, he cant imagine that anything outside of his primo neighborhood could be increasing in value and stealing some of his thunder.
Seems to me the center of new retail activity in Brooklyn has become centered around Park Slope over the last 6 months.
So many new businesses coming to Park Slope…’Snice opening today, Babeland, that Nolita Ethiopian place, new Union Market, that new Yogo Monster which looks like it’s right off Avenue A….all kinds of amazing stuff.
I know some people hate it, but for my money, I’d rather be there and have the park and all the services and pay a little extra.
comment from the initial thread:
“For that kind of dough, one would hope the PS house comes with a herd of wild unicorns in the backyard.”
Great buy on the South Slope Place. Nice Block, Decent House. I think it went for exactly what is worth.
Nearly one and a half million for a 2-story plus basement rowhouse on 13th Street below 5th isn’t setting the woods on fire?
Who cares what the initial ask was, that’s still a buttload of money.
As far as i know, the Irving Place house is still on the market — last price i heard for it was $750,000. but i might be mistaken.
theres only one park slope listing.
and two clinton hill listings.
?
Actually I think many are interested in clinton hill/fort greene. The clinton ave place was just overpriced. The broker for the lafayette place said there was a deal in the works, but both buyer and seller were lawyers and lawyerly behavior ensued.
Once again, people only seem interested in Park Slope.
Why is that?
