Overpricing Not Working in Carroll Gardens

“What the heck is going on in Carroll Gardens?” we asked back in January. Our question was prompted by a rash of ridiculously priced townhouses in the area. Well, since then, three out of the four houses we looked at that day woke up to reality and one is still clinging to its delusions of grandeur. 329 President has since been reduced by $605,000 and 78 3rd Place by $795,000; 44 1st Place, the nicest and biggest of the batch, appears to be off the market.

Party like it’s 1989.

Carroll Gardens should apply next year.
Then when they don’t win, the goombah mafia can kill off the board of the American Planning Assoc.
Are you talking about 4:22 with your post, 4:36? You should say so. Otherwise it’s really confusing.
Omg….North Beach and Pike Place are AMAZING!!! Old West Austin is really beautiful as is Lake Oswego. Been to Hillcrest once, it’s awesome and West Urbana is a great area too. Not been to Chatham Village or Elmwood.
Park Slope is in GREAT company!!!!
Also the neighborhoods on that top-ten are considered BY SUBMISSION. Via application and marketing.
See here:

So it means Park Slope applied for the honor then was selected. A little different than an organization being the one who identifies the neighborhood as being one of the best, based on their own independent observations.
“prestigious”
Oh dear.
Assuming your not a grasping 24 year old, please make an appointment with your therapist re. self-esteem ASAP.
Here are the other neighborhoods on the American Planning Organization’s top-ten list. We assume if making the top-ten means Park Slope is the only acceptable place in Brooklyn, then it should be equally acceptable to live in Pittsburgh, Buffalo or West Urbana:
Chatham Village in Pittsburg***Eastern Market in Washington, DC***Elmwood Village in Buffalo, NY***First Addition in Lake Oswego, Oregon****Hillcrest in San Diego****North Beach in San Francisco***Old West Austin in Austin, Texas***Pike Place Market in Seattle***West Urbana in Illinois
Because those places are not in NYC, 4:30.
If you’d like to go to the bible belt thumping, Huckawbee and bush loving, SUV driving, $4 a gallon gas areas, please be my guest.
Funny, 4:24. It’s true. I’m a Park Slope fan but please people, no more trotting out the top-ten rating thing. It goes from being prestigious to pathetic when it’s overused. Like nobody else is saying anything good about Park Slope so you keep having to reference being in the top-ten.
Also think about it. Being in the top-10 means there are 9 other communities around the country that are pretty nice too. What keeps someone from moving to those places instead if you all show yourself to be so annoying?
