And Crown Heights too.
Sandra, well, I’m six months late to the party, but to answer your question, you can buy a beautiful place in Bed Stuy or Bushwick for $250,000 to $800,000. So yes.
The Mitsubishi ArtCool units are quite different from the normal beige box and, if not attractive, at least unoffensive. The standard unit is a 28″ square only 6″ deep and can be decorated with “art” (not sure if that’s better or tacky.) If I ever get split a/c I would use them with the plain silver surface.
I’m really surprised that I’ve never seen them installed anywhere. Maybe they’re vaporware?
There’s quite a price difference, and central a/c is impossiblly disruptive unless you’re doing a major renovation. Can’t compare them at all.
Inigo – you make wild assumptions about someone’s character based on how they chose to cool (and heat) their home. As I said to each their own but wow, as you’re an Architect I really hope you don’t rant so condescendingly to your clients (and that instead you use Brownstowner to vent your inner frustrations.)
One thing I hate is an architect who always knows best; sure give your clients ideas but ultimately they are living in the house and not you.
As a former brownstone dweller back in the 70’s and early 80’s as a child and now living in the high desert area of California. I would like to know is there not one decent brownstone located in a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn available for less than a million dollars?
I am hoping in the next five years to be able to purchase a home in Brooklyn and possibly open my shop there. Living in California is driving me nuts. Is there no hope? LOL

There is a difference between a “split system” (aka Mitsubishi) and real cenral air.
I would actually prefer window units, that can be removed, than the permanently ugly units that say: “we were too cheap to buy real central a.c.”
The split units are just fugly.

And Inigo – I would argue that these Mitsubishi units are central A/C – they require external roof mounted units however each individual unit requires two 5/8″ pipes to bring in the cooling fluid as well as a return and then they need a waste line to drain condensation. All of this can be scored into lath & plaster walls and then they can be replasted.
Inigo,
To each their own. But if the Parlor floor is the only floor with 10′ ceilings and the rest are 8′ (or sometimes less particularly on the basement/ground floor) then ducting is neither practical nor aesthetically pleasing and in my opinion a small unit is preferable.
