BREAKING: Prospect Heights Is The New Hamptons

Posted by: AuthorErica | DateFriday, July 2, 2010 at 12:02AM

Well, this makes my real estate fantasy of a weekend house seem kind of silly now.

Curbed tipped us off to this new little nugget: Prospect Heights is the new Hamptons! People r buying weekend places there-n-shit! And its all thanks to Richard Meier!:

"Fashion designer Daniel Silver moved to the building with his partner this January. Also drawn there by the modern design, the couple uses it as a second home of sorts, leaving their West Village apartment for their Brooklyn pad on weekends."

BWHAAHAHHHAHHHA!

"The building," of course, is On Prospect Park on Grand Army Plaza--that glassfront monstrosity next to the Library.

It's unclear whether or not one can achieve that Hamptons, week-endy vibe in *other* parts of Prospect Heights or not, but my guess would be: T-O-T-A-L-L-Y.
