Rentals:

Wow that much money for the Mynt! Lots of room but almost $3K! What amenities are around there besides that gas station on Nostrand. Also I think the only train nearby is the G within decent walking distance.

#2 posting deleted!

#3 curious how big the bedrooms are for that price, but odd to hear your neighbors if walls are that thin.

#4 ugly cabinets but beautiful block! What’s with the ugly bulb with the nice medallion on it. Off bathroom fixtures. The mix of old and new styles doesn’t work here.

Sales

#1 So plain looking on outside for a million bucks, and it’s only a 1 family. How much do you have to earn to own this place?!

#2 posting deleted

#4 of course those are good tenants look at their cheap rent.

Sorry P you’re gonna have to try better: I find Bed-Stuy properties that do not mention the neighborhood they are in at all, only Bushwick. Good luck with that one!

Rental #3: I can tell you why it’s so cheap. I lived in an almost identical apartment on Evergreen not too far north of this apt and it was a total sh**hole. The walls were so thin you can hear everything your neighbors say and the construction was cheap and fell apart easily. The neighborhood was very sketchy and desolate and I literally saw a hooker walk by my building.

Sales #3: Looks like the link was taken down…but I know which building they are talking about. It’s a nicely renovated building. I live in the “DeMarKo” section and it’s really shaping up. I’m just crossing my fingers for some more businesses here…like a cute coffee shop or store. Please, please…no more bodegas!

Sales #3: Shockingly cheap. It doesn’t look like the commercial property is that big, but if someone would put something here (anything except a nail salon, hair salon, barber, bodega, or take out joint), it would be beneficial to all of us. This property is near some middle class housing, the Bedford-Stuyvesant pool, the library, the B38 bus and about two blocks from Tompkins park. I call this the DeMarKo section of the hood (Dekalb/Marcy/Kosciuszko). I think it has a lot of potential. If only there were more people with passion, vision and clout (that last one is important) who cared about NORTH Bed-Stuy.

Sales #4: You’re right on, Alexa. If they don’t show you the inside you have to assume that it’s a nightmare.

Rental #3:

I love how they note that every bedroom has a window, lol! But you know, that’s a plus.

Rental #4: gotta love that row of dutch gables. Really really really nice. I would like that to be the view from my house.

Sales #3: That is cheap. I am almost tempted to go look at it myself (not that I can afford to buy another building). DeKalb has the potential to be incredibly nice (not to mention its development would benefit me personally, since Gates east of Classon will most likely just maintain).

Sales #4: I bet the renovation is REALLY UGLY. But that block is fine. It’s probably worth it as an investment property.
