    New Development: 96 Rockwell

    We’ve seen developments that were disappointing (270 Greene), eh … better values to be had (Belltel), and underwhelming  (Be@Schermerhorn), but none have been a true disaster until 96 Rockwell. I’d been curious about 96 Rockwell since our Belltel days. I’d read on some streeteasy posts...

    Fort Greene’s Verdi on 80-82 Adelphi

    I’ve been looking / thinking / wondering about the Verdi since we first embarked on our house hunt. It was always on my list to check out but never made it to our “must-see” itinerary during our open house frenzy. But the photos are so...

    Be@schermerhorn

    A new / returned development opened it’s doors this weekend, Be@Schermerhorn located on 189 Schermerhorn. Curious since our broker had suggested we look at this development (before we locked in at the Toren). We didn’t come in with the most open mind, who can forget...
