Slopestoner,
Welcome to the North Slope.
Has anyone addressed the less than nice-looking issues we talked about here last week with regard to the exterior of Vermeil…sidewalks, broken and filthy windows, broken light fixture, cracking cornice, etc.?
Otherwise, it looks like they did a nice job with the building.
Are there many people living there yet? I’ve only seen one or two lights on…
Park Sloper – yup, between 6th and 7th. Howdy neighbor.
Slopestoner – there are two 3-beds on the market that have had a bunch of big price cuts and are still not moving.
I don’t consider the Park Place condos to be in North Slope. They are basically on top of Flatbush.
I underestimated the transportation benefit of the north slope. Used to live on 2nd street, moved to the Vermeil, cut maybe a half hour off my commute every day. Very close to the Q and 2/3 (Bergen or Grand Army).
Very happy with the building so far, and Corcoran is doing a MUCH better job of selling units than the old deadbeat agents the building had. Not much left but the first floor one bedrooms at this point.
11217: I’d been thinking all this time that you were between 6th and 7th. Lechacal, are you on the block between 6th & 7th? That’s where I live.
Regarding the Park Place condos, I think 11217 was saying that the North Slope is prime, not necessarily that particular building. It harkens back to a conversation from last week about how prices seem to be holding better in more prime neighborhoods (not to get into the whole Park Slope versus Clinton Hill discussion again, just to suggest that good transportation alternatives are key for many buyers).
Speaking of fishy, the taxes on the units at Park Place Condominiums are crazy. I went with a friend to look at a two bedroom place, and the taxes were over $900/mo.
between 7th and 8th…
11217, I think we have somewhat different views as to whether this building is prime (I say no). But even if this is prime, $1.6 million? Even for a large 3-bed in a new condo? When you can pick up a nice 3-bed at the Vermeil (almost same loction but without the Flatbush street noise) for hundreds of thousands less? This just smells fishy to me. If I’m wrong then so be it, but for now I refuse to believe this is a real transaction between a market seller and a market buyer.
BTW you never answered my question the other day. Are you on the block between 6th ave and 7th ave or 7th ave and 8th ave?
The Sunset house entered into contract before the market crash. Still a ripoff .. Man I guess I will never get that BH townhouse for 1 million.
lechacal,
I get what you are saying, because that’s not my favorite building around (to say the least), but like I said…people seem to be gravitating to the most prime of the prime areas and this area of the North Slope (because of the transportation options) seems to be doing fine. There is just not much on the market near here. I have to believe that has something to do with it.
