Have you ever tried to get around Highbridge in the winter?
For somebody coming from Bushwick, that will be a big adjustment for starters
All you think about is money money money
WTH is with you lately? It’s like you’re on a weird warpath with opposing viewpoints. You were never this combative in years before.
I think about the question being asked and give a response based on context and any experience or insight I can offer.
This post was about the cost and condition of a single family home. So from the start, it was a money based post and the comment that it was priced better than “overpriced” homes elsewhere in the Bronx.
This poster is interesting buying a home in nyc (assumptions here based on what’s been said). He or she has indicated liking historical homes and accessibility to Manhattan. For most places in nyc, this criteria means a high price tag. This person posted a place that doesn’t have a high price tag- relatively speaking. Whether it’s an upgrade or a downgrade is subjective to that individual. This person wants to go from renting to buying and like most people, probably has a finite budget. So for him/her, going from renting (an apartment?) to buying a turn key historical home would be an upgrade.
It’s not about money so much as it’s about desire to achieve an objective. Which in this case seems to be ownership of type of home within nyc.

Why not look at Staten Island then, if owning a home is the end to it all
Plenty of options when it comes to homeownership
But all you single people want to do is go drink after work and have short commutes to sleep the hangover off
I'm not fooled.

Are you having a bad day or something? Seriously. Your posts of late are judgmental and ignore the fact that different people have different needs and are allowed to make choices based on what’s best for their situation and their preferences.
As many times as people reply trying to explain that, you jump on them. It’s almost like you are angry at people for their choices (which have no direct impact to you whatsoever).

Because Staten Island doesn't meet my wants/needs? I thought you loved the West Bronx anyway

I'm not Martha Stewart, I don't care about it being "dated" looking or whatever
most people are going to care how their half million dollar home looks, but even if you don;t, a house that looks like it hasn't been touched in 30-40 years is surely going to need a lot of work.

You're right
That Highbridge house is the greatest
BuildingLover, go buy it and report back

It has a dated kitchen and bathrooms but its not THAT bad. It looks like it was renovated in the 90s with the stainless fridge added more recently since those became popular only a few years ago. But one can live in it as is and update those eventually.
Biggest question is are there any electrical, roofing, plumbing or other issues. That’s always the downside to houses with “historic charm”.
Actually, on second thought, new construction always has issues too.
