Luquer, Filthy Lucre
Mostly disappointed with the buildings going up in the neighborhood, I thought the condos going up on Luquer Street (between Smith and Court) to be acceptable and could see myself living there. And then I saw the prices! $1,095,000.00 for a 1 bedroom, 2 bath? Holy Jeebus! Granted, that’s the most expensive unit and you can get a 2 bedroom, 1 bath for $650,000.00 – but even that still seems ridiculous to me for this end of Carroll Gardens. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of Carroll Gardens and would gladly move from my Union Street apartment to Luquer (closer to work!) but I think I’d rather spend my 1 mil on a brownstone.

Although it’s nice to know if you did have 1 mil you could easily spread it around between the 358 banks in our neighborhood.

I’d probably blow the $1M on all the hipster bars in the ‘hood.

I can afford to live there…and will!

Wow, this is a nice building. Love the architecture. Prices don’t seem bad for what you get.
