Working… on the go! 🛵 💨 . This weekend is perfect riding weather. Outside of sales and rentals, New York City is one of the world’s stages. Incorporating Vespa into my daily routine has changed my life and my style. There’s nothing more iconic than this.

Brooklyn market recap from the summer: prices are UP ⬆️ 11% year over year! Because Brooklyn is not as densely populated as Manhattan, the housing stock is always in demand.
Neighborhoods like Fort Greene/ Clinton Hill are frozen in time; with landmarked grand brownstones, wood frame townhouses, and pre-war co-ops like 277 Washington Ave. The entry costs to purchase apartment 6D are cheaper than a new construction condo, and the home is just shy of 800 square feet with private storage.

Manhattan Valley is one of the last pockets of the Upper West Side where pre-war character hasn’t been priced into oblivion. Walk these blocks and you’ll see it: turn-of-the-century brownstones and rowhouses sitting beside handsome pre-war elevator buildings, ornate cornices, bay windows, and the kind of solid prewar bones that just aren’t built anymore. It’s a neighborhood that still feels like a neighborhood — tree-lined, walkable, and minutes from Central Park, Riverside Park, and Columbia.
That’s exactly why it’s worth watching as an investment. You’re getting Upper West Side architecture and access at a price point that hasn’t fully caught up to its neighbors to the south. Add in strong subway access (the B/C and 1 trains run right through it), a steady wave of renovation and new development, and a location that’s genuinely central — and you’ve got a neighborhood with real room to grow.
If you’re looking at NYC real estate with an eye toward long-term value, Manhattan Valley deserves a serious look. 🏙️

$7,900,000 rental building on Green Avenue and Washington Avenue in historic Clinton Hill. Built in 1872, 3 stories, all 17 studio apartments for rent.

A Dream. A Reality? A home. Brooklyn only goes Up in price!
The three story house was built in the early 1870s. A newspaper ad in 1872 mentions this address. It was probably built for the family of Freeborn G. Smith, one of the great characters of 19th century Brooklyn.

Freeborn Smith was a wealthy piano manufacturer. He was born in Baltimore, where he started his career, apprenticed to a piano maker. He quickly learned piano construction, and rose to become a master. Baltimore wasn’t able to help him rise any further, so he came to New York City.

He began working with the Bradbury Piano Company, started by William B. Bradford, a hymn composer. He soon became the factory superintendent, and later acquired the brand. His Freeborn G. Smith Piano Company was soon manufacturing Bradbury pianos, as well as their own line, and cases for other smaller piano works.

By the time of his death, in 1911, his company had two plants in Brookly
