Simply put, we have more resources than ever to support our trusted clients. We are here to serve you, and Brown Harris Stevens has never been stronger. We look forward to working together. BHSID 20209216 BHS 1 Message from Bess Freedman CEO of Brown Harris Stevens We are happy to present our second quarter 2020 Brooklyn market report. Since it typically takes at least 2-3 months for a sale to close after a contract is signed, these reports aren’t always representative of current market conditions. If ever a report proved this point it is this one. When looking at the data, you must keep the following in mind: 1. Roughly 90% of the second quarter 2020 closings had their contracts signed before the covid-19 lockdown began. This means the data is more representative of the market we had before the virus, and not what we see today. It won’t be until the third quarter report that we’ll begin to know the extent the virus and lockdown had on housing prices. 2. Because of this reason and the historically low number of closings in the second quarter, this report should not be used as a pricing tool in the current environment. BHSID 20202832 BHS 2 Q2 2020 Cooperatives & Condominiums The average apartment price fell 2% over the past year in Brooklyn to $900,622.

  • Gowanus Gentrified?
    Gowanus Gentrified? Community Responses to Gentrification and Economic Development in the Shadow of the Superfund Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein Senior Thesis for the Urban Studies Program Barnard College, Columbia University Submitted April 18, 2012 Thesis Advisor: Meredith Linn Abstract Gowanus is an industrial neighborhood changing into a gentrified area, but it faces such severe pollution that the EPA designated the Gowanus Canal, which bisects the area, a Superfund site in 2010. The industry still in Gowanus includes a mix of traditional industrial businesses, craft industries, and artists, but they might disappear if developers build luxury condos in the neighborhood. This study looks at the clash between activists over how the community has and will change, focusing on the pro-development Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation and the preservationist and pro-Superfund Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus. Many local activists embrace the vision of Gowanus as a place for making things and hope to maintain industry. Even though industry left the neighborhood polluted, most do not connect the two. The Superfund seeks to clean up the neighborhood but it may pave the way for environmental gentrification, which is the pollution cleanup causing gentrification. However, fears of the Superfund harming home prices do not appear to be true; GIS analysis shows that land closest to environmental hazards increased the most in value. Residents also hope to avoid the experiences of other New York neighborhoods, which saw gentrification cause displacement. More than residential displacement, though, activists worry about the culture of Gowanus disappearing and hope to save it. Their remedies such as historic preservation and zoning Gowanus for mixed use may not be effective or viable, though.

  • Second Quarter 2021 Residential Market Report
    Cooperatives & Condominiums Second Quarter 2021 Residential Market Report Second Quarter 2021 Residential Market Report Cooperatives & Condominiums Brooklyn BHSID 20845406 Message from Bess Freedman CEO of Brown Harris Stevens Brooklyn apartment prices averaged a record $965,575 in the second quarter, as demand remained incredibly strong. Closings more than doubled compared to a year ago, and were also up 26% from 2021’s first quarter. The number of contracts signed during the second quarter set a new record, so expect the number of closings to rise sharply in 3Q21. I’m also happy to announce we have made two major changes to our Brooklyn quarterly report beginning with this issue. First, instead of reporting on just four major areas, we now have data for 12 neighborhood groupings. This will allow us to present more localized and relevant data to you. Secondly, we are now just reporting on apartments, as townhouses will now have their own semiannual report. BHSID 20873538 BHS 2 Q2 2021 All Brooklyn Brooklyn apartment prices averaged a record $965,575 in the second quarter, which was 10% higher than a year ago. The average condo price per square foot also set a record, crossing the $1,000 mark for All Brooklyn BHSID 20221010 the first time.

  • Analyzing the Income Gap Between Park Slope and Bedford- Stuyvesant
    The Effect of Education on Health: Analyzing the Income Gap between Park Slope and Bedford- Stuyvesant Sheba Antony, Marybeth Babu and Evan Biegel Spring 2016 Introduction Park Slope and Bedford-Stuyvesant are two seemingly neighboring towns in Brooklyn that currently differ in a multitude of ways: 1. Income Park Slope Bed-Stuy 2. Population 3. Health 4. Education What is responsible for these differences? New York City Teacher Strike of 1968 Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district, 1968: - 95% of students were black or Latino - 67% of teachers were white September, 1968 November, 1968 May, 1968 - previously dismissed teachers are - NYS Board of - white teachers reinstated with Regents declares deemed ineffective “partner” teachers district under state to teach students - chaos in classrooms control - white teachers are - Union president Al - strike terminates, dismissed Shanker advocates a leaving the city in an strike even more racially separated position Hypothesis 1. The 1968 Teacher Strike engendered more separation between races in NYC, in turn altering the education system. 2. Accompanying a change in the education system was a change in educational attainment and therefore income. 3. As the income gap between Park Slope and Bedford-Stuyvesant broadened, the quality of health in each area began to diverge. In sum, the education and health of an area are two major factors that influence the future state of the area. Education School Enrollment - Overall, Bed-Stuy has more enrollment than Park Slope until the 2000s. - In the past few years, enrollment in Park Slope has increased while enrollment in Bed- Stuy has decreased. - Conclusion: There has been an overall decline in enrollment; however, Park Slope seems to be slowly recovering.

  • The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn Suleiman Osman Reviewed By
    67 the true subject is not the place, but the characters that give it life. In teasing out the attitudes, convictions, and values of the gentrifiers, or “brownstoners,” and the many times contradictory impulses that drove them to recreate and “reimagine” a forgotten urban landscape, Osman creates a truly memorable and powerful piece of scholarship. By the end of World War II, the area known as South Brooklyn was a “polycultural, polycentric and polyhistorical cityscape.” Disgusted with the sterility of suburbia and desperate for diversity and “authenticity,” young, highly educated professionals began moving to Brooklyn’s oldest, but now largely depressed, residential district, Brooklyn Heights. A neighborhood ravaged by the flight of wealthy residents to the nascent suburbs in the early 20th century, Brooklyn Heights’ once majestic brownstones were in severe disrepair. While the rehabilitation of these structures and the revitalizing of their urban environment were the most visible elements of this new “brownstoning” movement, its heart and soul was a “do-it-yourself”, counterculture ideology that would have a profound impact on the social, political, and physical environment of the American city. Osman argues that many of these “brownstoners” imagined themselves as urban pioneers building settlements in the wilderness”—out to reclaim, rediscover, and rehabilitate an urban environment lost to decades of decay.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.
