Park Slope Real Estate Market Down?

Not sure why. One thing I did notice os that while I enjoyed my time when I visited and dined in Park Slope ever since 2008, I never loved it for me to justify why it's such a premier neighborhood in BK. I prefer Cobble Hill and Carrol Gardens. To me Boerum Hill is alright too. But PS never quite lived up to what I've heard and continue to hear. But them again it supposedly has great public school, which is not a concern for me at all anytime soon.

They must have run out of lesbians.

Saiyar1 - I agree - we live in BoCoCa and we LOVE the area. PS has more of a suburban feel... Schools are excellent in both areas.

damn Matt...thats harsh...lol

As someone who hasn't lived in the city in this millennium, I had to Google "BoCoCa"; there's no end to these newfangled run-some-first-syllables-together neighborhoods, is there? Do people actually *say* "BoCoCa"?

I've never heard of "BoCoCa", but it's actually the opposite of the other trend, which is to carve out oa new named neighborhood out of existing ones (or simply renaming existing ones); this time they're combining neighborhoods.

whats bococa ?

BOerum Hill, CObble Hill, CArroll Gardens.

Lol I had to look it up myself and I live on the border of Cobble Hill/BK Heights! Apparently it's catching on.

I used to live in Cobble Hill and turned my nose up at Park Slope somewhat, but now that i'm in Park Slope i think Cobble Hill is fairly isolated. I'm thrilled to not have to be on the F train anymore, and i have access to Prospect Heights & Ft Greene, which is more interesting than Carroll Gardens was as a bordering hood...

Several our my friends, all lesbians, moved to Park Slope around 2006/2007 and they absolutely love it there. But I don't really love it... Heck, I would not even consider living there! Don't get mt wrong, I think it's a nice area, if you are into those things...

The biggest problem I have with the area is that it's a shlep to/from the city. Also, although tree lined streets are pretty, there are some spots/pockets of areas that are very, very "urban-looking."

I just got through an apartment hunt (lease) with my girlfriend. She wanted Park Slope. I wanted something near the Borough Hall subway stop (Brooklyn Heights, and parts of Cobble Hill or Boreum Hill -- BroCoBo?). It was our Brooklyn version of Green Acres. She wanted Prospect Park and The Botanical Gardens. I wanted freedom from strollers, narrow brownstones and extended commutes. I prevailed in the end, thanks to the Brooklyn Nets. I certainly dont know if this will play out as I fear, but we agreed that the chances werent terrible that Flatbush will be a parking lot every night there is a game or concert, and precious serenity and/or time will be lost in traffic or packed subway cars. Yes, there are other routes to Park Slope, but those too could be affected, or (worse) require travel on the BQE. Hopefully this time next year our fears will be proven wrong, because if we ever have kids, I am going to lose the fight and end up in Park Slope, congestion or no congestion.

Good choice kfsee! If schools weren't an issue, I would pick one of the more exciting neighborhoods. Still, there is a lot of inventory on the market for Park Slope - are people moving on to other neighborhoods?
