Price Cuts at 272 St. Marks Avenue
After four months on the market, 272 St. Marks Avenue was coming up goose eggs in the sales department. As a result, seven out of the eight units were on the receiving end of 10 to 15-percent price cuts recently. So a top-floor three-bedroom that was $1,049,000 is now $895,000 and a second-floor one-bedroom that…

So a top-floor three-bedroom that was $1,049,000 is now $895,000 and a second-floor one-bedroom that was $575,000 is now $495,000. Think it’s enough to get a little action going?

Piss off, stargazer. Gratuitous sexism is so 40 years ago. And infact there are no restaurants and bars on this block. It’s just that it’s close to Vanderbilt where there are plenty.
I don’t think living around Bars and Restaurants is such a great idea.
Bars attract noise as well as restaurants…..
…and for that price, I want quiet, not some dumb bitch screaming at her boyfriend in front of a bar…
Thanks grand army. I was a bit bummed to see it go, though I’ll welcome the new neighbors to what is really a nice neighborhood that continues to develop and get better.
sorry… enthusiastic = loud (nothing more coded than that I’m afraid)
The playground isn’t going away. It’s attached to PS 9. The block certainly isn’t the prettiest but it’s very convenient to Vanderbilt, GAP, the park etc etc.
Yes, 1842, I believe you’re correct that the little woodframe house was early 19th century — probably right around the date of your handle in fact. A photo of it ran in the 2007 Prospect Heights House Tour brochure which had a feature about landmarking and made the point that buildings like this would have saved from the wrecker’s ball had the neighborhood been designated earlier.
Only a moron would think this locaton is bad. Right around the corner from Vanderbilt, where a new restaurant or bar opens each week. The basketball games getting “enthusiastic”? Talk about coded language!
Correction: The third bedroom is 9′ 9″.
I looked at these last weekend. They’re wanting $900K for a 2BR that doesn’t even have a hallway closet (and, really, no place for an armoire, either); the units in the back of the building face a giant pit (maybe 15′ or so) dug into the back yard, for God know what reason. Oh, and there’s no elevator.
Anyone know anything about the small woodframe one story house with a peaked roof that was torn down to build this? I always used to think it might be quite an old place, mide 1800s, predating a lot of the other P Heights buildings in the area.
