Real estate experts attribute the sharp climb in Boerum Hill’s desirability overall, and its surge past such prime locations as Dumbo, to the fabulously successful complex of condos at 233 Pacific Street in 2012. In that complex twenty units sold for over $1 million each. Eight of those twenty sold for $1.5 million
“233 Pacific was certainly one of the highlights of Boerum Hill,” said Michael Slattery, a senior Vice President with the Real Estate Board of New York. “The neighborhood is improving and the presence of new development is driving up prices of existing homes.”
