snowboardqueen– excellent point.
Rogers at Sterling is a major stretch already, no need for Mr. B to go as far as Nostrand & Pacific.
As for Bergen & Franklin–
Anytime you have to ask yourself, “which is closer, the Franklin or the Park shuttle stop?” Well my friend, you are in Crown Heights.
Prospect Heights has relatively simple boundaries, Flatbush, Atlantic, Eastern Pkwy, Washington
as someone who is preparing to rent out a 3 bdrm apt in crown heights north (plus did some realistic comps on rent in the hood), these prices are pretty high for the sq ft, location, and amenities. These prices are ok is they manage to sucker someone into believing they’re indeed in Prospect Heights proper.
Oh, you already did, I see.
Pragonetti, you could ask that question in the forum.
I LOVE this new section because it’s proof positive of the direction we can expect the prices of sales listings to go.
Combine this w/ the NYT real estate section featuring renters more and more this year (before it was “look at this ingenious renovation of a 3 million dollar apartment in the west village!”) and I think you have a good indicator of the audience for buy vs rent right now.
THe one that I posted? First off I have no association with it, I just saw that it was posted recently. And secondly, judging from the pictures, it looks like it’s facing the Pacific Street side of the building, which is towards AY. Not really sure how much work they’ll be doing there or how loud it’ll be and of course whether AY will even get a construction loan and start any construction any time soon.
This is a very nice APT, is it going to be affected by the AY?
