My husband and I are looking to buy. We’ve can’t afford to be Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, etc. We are looking in Bay Ridge. I happened upon a listing for the Elkin house and we decided to go check out the open house. We got our dates wrong and went to the house on the wrong day, so we never got to see it. But we started walking around the neighborhood. We’d never been to crown heights. And I was very impressed with the architecture and the homes. Sure some blocks are better than others. But overall Crown Heights North has some beautiful homes. We met some nice people. People stopped us and asked us if we were looking to buy in the neighborhood and told us which blocks had the best architecture.
We went back a couple of times to look at houses, but haven’t found anything yet.
I would move there if I found the right house for the right price.
I think that neighborhood will def change.
My mother would go to Park Slope to visit her sister 25 years ago and told me that neighborhood was rough.
I’m banking on Crown heights to be the next neighborhood.
Crown Heights is a human cesspool. Well, mostly human.
“cat piss” lol
“normal” grocery stores
4:04 – please stay in Manhattan.
And, yes, you are a snob.
Crown Heights is on pause ’til next boom. Got 20 years?
“Just like your 401k,12:32. Just like your 401k. Prices on the dollar has falling to it’s lowest level. 12:30, in my opinion is still in a stronger position for retirement.”
Sadly clueless. Homes at 2007 prices are only good for retirement if you have NET equity, cash out now, hedge against inflation and THEN get back into cash when interest rates go back up. 2007 prices will be gone for the rest of your life. We MIGHT see 2003 prices again before we perish.
Used to live in CH and it sucks. Heard gun shots every other night. Bodega’s smell like cat piss and their isin’t shit there.
“Where the fuck is Crown Heights North??!! I have lived in Brooklyn all my life, I never heard of Crown Heights North. Maybe after the CRASH, it will return to just Crown Heights.”
LOL! Oooooouuucch! The What – I’m gonna sue you for stomach stitches you asshole!

If your calculation is correct, then my old apartment in 2008 dollars would be about $800 — not the $1,600 being asked on Lincoln — and Crown Heights is keeping ahead of inflation.
And for those lamenting crime in Crown Heights, since my parents bought the apartment they left me on Park Avenue, quess the only place I’ve been mugged?
Park Avenue.
