Caledonia

Asking 240k more now than last year! Don't understand.

I'm just saying the building. I'm sure you can negotiate a little off the current listing prices.

why? its on an industrial/commercial block far away from the subway....and the price is ridiculous $1,600 - $1,700 psft is a pipedream. The Caledonia came to the market at the height of the bubble and it didn't even sell out...

Why is it "ideal?" In the rain you are a far walk from transportation and if you don't use the E train you are quite far from the subway; you can't really carry home food shopping because you are too far from the better markets; you are far from all but a handful of restaurants; the freezing winds off the river are undesirable 7 months a year. Plusses: the views are nice if you face the right way and the building is nice and the park will be great the months you can use it. How does that make it more "ideal" than CPW, 5th Ave and Central Park, central Village "gold coast" area, pre-wars along Riverside Park, etc.? Some may like Caledonia more, but it comes down only to matter of taste--not some definitive silly answer. The Caledonia has a lot of compromises and is hardly "the best".

Anyway, I found the discussion.
