Whisper, Whisper: Decatur Is For Lovers (Not Haters)
When we wrote about 100 Decatur Street last week, we said it would be something of an indicator for the Bedford Stuyvesant market as a whole. If there was any truth to that statement (and, hey, we could have just been full of it) then The Stuy is doing just fine thank you very much….
When we wrote about 100 Decatur Street last week, we said it would be something of an indicator for the Bedford Stuyvesant market as a whole. If there was any truth to that statement (and, hey, we could have just been full of it) then The Stuy is doing just fine thank you very much. According to a tip we got yesterday, the house has received multiple bids, two of them over the asking price of $899,000. Not too shabby (just like those sweet interiors). Word is, though, that the broker’s considering holding one more open house to see if she can do even better.
UPDATE: Looks like our earlier tip about the number of people at the open house fell short. It was, in fact, 167 detail-hungry gawkers. There were six offers. The broker has decided not to hold another open house and has asked for best offers by Friday at 5 p.m.

Is “Barker” a stray dog that lives in the park?
Funny enough, I actually see more kids playing out on the sidewalk in Bed Stuy than I did all those years I was living in Park Slope.
barker lives in prospect park.
Barker Obviously doesn’t have a clue. Or perhaps, thinks that only people who are homogenous with her/him. White, single, without kids, etc. And a total Zenophob!. i.e. terrified of black people. (they’re from another country!!!)
Barker, most people who would rather live in a “cute, small apartment” in a “happening neighborhood” (and I’m sure there are plenty) probably do not also have kids who would go biking out on the street alone (where is it in NYC that kids are biking on the streets alone anyway?). As for being in Brooklyn and not being short walking distance from PP, well, that my friend is about 95% of of the borough, so there are obviously a lot of people who are very happy to do so!
Interestingly, as of 14:07, the open house is still be advertised for Sunday, Feb 4 @ 2pm (Superbowl Sunday)
“What’s the point of living in Brooklyn and not living within short walking distance of Prospect Park?” from barker 10:54pm
Is this the question from the final round of jeaopordy. ok ill play alex…
what is because homes in walking distance of the park are theoretically out of financial reach and unaffordable for those making less than 100 k a year. (the masses)
But I take it you live in walking distance to the park correct.. right before you take the elevator down or walk by your LANDLORDS APARTMENT. Get Real
Oh, yeah did I win?

Small Cute Apartment” paying rent lol
thats okay every society needs it shares of renters or morons willing to 850k for 900 sqft of living space, just as every society needs individuals such as Henry Ford , risk taker innovator” Visaion of Putting a car in every garage in the U.S”.
Things change do or die is no longet the bedstuy mantra it is too late to buy.. bought a year ago in the mid 500’s renovated prestoring amazing details,the r.e company that sold me the house would list it in the mid 800’s., so you do the math.The moral of the story never be afraid to help play apart in bringing about change..
p.s how does it feel to hear your neighbors annoying kids running above your head at 5 in the morning?
