Slow down or speed up? (Park Slope Neighbors)

Described by Brown Harris Stevens as “meticulous” and “custom designed,” 9 Prospect Park West is certainly perfect for getting your zen on.

Your Open House: Nos. 36 and 55 Montgomery Place, Near Prospect Park West

Amy Sohn’s Prospect Park West, a gleefully bitchy take on Park Slope moms by a former New York columnist, won’t be released until September—but as of last week, Sarah Jessica Parker’s production company was already looking to turn the novel into an HBO series.
