What the Heck Is Going On in Carroll Gardens?
This is getting weird. Despite a softening market all around, there’s been a rash of new listings in Carroll Gardens that have defied all logic and precedent. Starting with 44 1st Place (which in retrospect is probably the best deal of the lot) for $3,842,500, they’ve just kept coming: A 3,100-square-foot house at 78 3rd…

A 16-foot-wide one at 40 2nd Place for $2,800,000? And now a three-story house at 329 President Street for a $3,600,000? What is going on here? One common denominator: Corcoran is the listing agent on all these places except for 1st Place. Coincidence or conspiracy?

Ok well the old school is gone or leaving. The racisim is in every nabe you fools.
Am I out of the loop? I live in CG and where is there a McDonalds? I don’t even know where it would go on Smith Street. Would people eat there?
a cannoli would be lovely, thanks.
Hope so, 1:04.
No one cares about schools. They care about proximity to Starbucks, without actually having one in their neighborhood. They care about how many of Mario Batali’s restaurants are moving into the neighborhood and which neighborhood has the youngest people standing in line for juno at the local movie theater.
This thread has done serious damage to the reputation of Corcoran, in my opinion.
Thus giving a sour note to Carroll Gardens as well.
Anyone who lives in the neighborhood should voice their concerns with Corcoran, because soon, this is going to be picked up by Curbed, then Gawker, and CG will now be the new whipping boy in Brooklyn. It looks like it’s time to pass the torch from PS to CG.
how about a cannoli then?
12:42,
this is 12:32 and either I wrote my post rather poorly or you just didn’t get it. My comment was meant to imply that any school (in any neighborhood) can be good and I was just pointing out that the poster who stated only high school and college mattered was crazy. I also specifically meant we should talk and meet the teachers (the complete opposite of throwing “the ball” into the school’s hands). Yes, people succeed with and/or despite their upbringing. But if people want to spend on their children’s education, the main thing they need to spend is time speaking with them and their schools.
wow–self-righteous and judgmental much 1PM?
