are you here to stay?!

Subject: Right place at the Right Time

I say this as a completely biased new owner but:

I think this is the last great deal in NYC.
We got a great palce under market rate recenlty and I have to say - after looking steadily for over 1 year, PH was the best choice for so many reasons beside our building.

Forget Harlem, Tribeca, BoCoCa or even Redhook (ick!).
Prospect Heights offers the most bang for the buck: express subway, BK museum, propsect Park, BK Library ( a true GEM), Botanic Garden, Grand Army PLaza, The Saturday Market and Eastern Parkway and 3 other avenues that have great potential: Flatbush, Vandy and Washington. We just need a few more things to make it what it really can be.

I really think Prosepct Heights is the True Cultural Center of Brooklyn - the knuckle bone of the community. 8) Seriously, it aint Brooklyn Heights or Bensonhurst with that distinction, people. Get real. And I dont just mean its good for the Yuppies either, I love the diversity of people in this neighborhood specifically.

It is a beautiful thing on first Saturdays in Spring and Summer. It is only going to get better from here on out.

I love the neighborhood and I hope we can stay, but it sort of depends on the schools -- and what I hear of PS 316 ain't encouraging. And we rent and SO cannot afford to buy, alas.

So what's the next neighborhood that will be affordable and maybe somewhat cool? Crown Heights?

better hurry, crown heights is getting more $cool$ everyday! depends on the block... walk around & check it out, every avenue away from flatbush going east drops a few hundred $$$ in rent, or so it seems... 8)

Arrrgh! Where am I supposed to move, then?

Fuckin' landlords.
