Welcome to the Neighborhood Lili Taylor!
Rachel Markowitz | August 14, 2007
According to New York Magazine, Lili Taylor, star of the Lifetime series State of Mind, just closed on a three-bedroom apartment in Cobble Hill for $950,000. Apparently this was 6% over the asking price. Just goes to show that while Lifetime may be crap TV, they must pay their actors semi-decently. I, for one, prefer to think of Lili Taylor as Corey Flood, the guitar-wielding companion of a love-sick John Cusak in Say Anything. It’s possible stereotypical “chick rock” was invented when Corey played an ode to her ex-boyfriend at a graduation party. The song goes: “Joe lies! Joe lies! Joe lies! when he criiiiies!” Perhaps we’ll be lucky enough to hear her playing similar tunes on her stoop one day.
Reportedly Taylor sold her apartment on Bethune Street for $1.1 million last month. Hopefully this indicates that she plans to stay with us for awhile. Let’s keep an eye out for her, and any other celebrities who are thinking of moving to the lovely BergenCarroll-land.

Do more celebs means higher real estate prices? Don’t know if I should cheer or cry.
I know they mean it’s harder for working class families who scrape together the means to send their kids to private schools — the celeb progeny cut to the head of the line, with the only rich and not famous following them.
This became much more of a problem after St. Steven’s closed.
I’d hate to see the streets clogged with entourages, bodyguards blocking the sidewalks and celebs cutting the coffee line at D’Amico’s.
