  1. St James Pl is a scary street. I was there last week to check out the neighborhood to lived and very quickly realized that is definitely not a place I would want to be at night. I am not a rich trust fund kid with lots of money but I could not see myself live there.

    I will not say if the place is overpriced or not but do know that for $1.3m, I would hope to have some amenities. There were none right there. Is this Clinton Hill or some broker’s wishful thinking.

    Anyway, this looked for Bed Stuy. to me. I am a single woman and would never walk around there after sundown.

    For $1.3m, I will get something a little bit smaller in a neighborhood not so scary.

  3. The house on 5th St. isn’t really a good comp to the neighboring 6th St. one. The 5th St. is an estate sale and previously had a lot of rental units, so it needs lots of fixing up, and I think there may be something wonky about its basic layout/outdoor space. Also, while 5th btw. 6th and 7th is a great block, that house is a little too close to 7th ave. and the hubbub from John Jay & etc.

    The 6th st. house is nicely renovated w/ lots of detail, has a great yard and is farther down the block, so it feels relatively more serene.
    I don’t know if it’s overpriced or not, but if you’ve seen both houses, there’s a big difference.

    Did anyone else notice that the little frame house on 13th btw. 5th and 6th that was going for 1.895 m. wasn’t in the brokers’ real estate listings this week, after two weeks on the market? Warren Lewis and one other firm had it, and neither had it in their NY Times Real Estate ad. ??
