Um, I live in Bay Ridge. It took one afternoon visit to decide to sell my place in Park Slope and move there. Its a lot differnt from PS but that sometimes can be a good thing as every nabe has their positives and negatives.
Who wants to live in Bay Ridge??? Who the heck even wants to visit?!?

BRG does but then again, you’re not her so what would you know.
Also I can think of a few Soprano wannabe’s that might or might not live on that particular block.
So, 11217, that 1st street limestone finally sold? They were asking in the mid to high 3’s in early 2008. Can’t believe they sold for more than a million less than they were hoping a year ago. That is quite a haircut.
I pass the Bay Ridge house on my way to the park often. And its a honey all right. Its a nice block though. Save for, well…

One of the stairs in BR house is used stricktly for rolling bodies down to the garage for “processing”.
Here’s another 1st Street house which finally sold.
No clue for what price, though. I’m guessing from the pics, it needs mucho work.

How can you see the pics of the BR place? I clicked on the link. Do I have to sign in to Property Shark?
This has to be incorrect information. Miss Muffet told me that no one is buying homes in Park Slope anymore for over 1 million dollars.
The Bay Ridge house rocks.
