Whatever it's called, the "Stuyvesant Heights" home looks wonderful, at least based on the few pics in the listing.

Nobody outside of Brooklyn has ever heard of Stuyvesant Heights.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 7, 2009 2:30 PM

DIBS, if those people think they've heard of it, they likely confuse it with Stuyvesant Town in Manhattan

Posted by: more4less at August 7, 2009 2:35 PM

Yes, m4l, most likely.

Guys please check out this 1897 clipping from the Brooklyn Eagle... The name Stuyvesant Heights has been around longer than the name Bed-Stuy which came about in the 1950s. Bedford-Stuyvesant was two different neighborhood pre WWII Brooklyn Union gas merged the names in the late 1930s and it stuck. If there is a Greenwood Heights now which I am sure no one in Manhattan has heard of also.. To tell you you the truth when I use to talk about Prospect Hts to people in the city only 4 years ago most have never heard of that either... Technically both of the Bedford Stuyvesant homes are in Stuyvesant Heights.

And yet Stuyvesant Heights has been a landmarked district since 1971...

Posted by: belleville at August 7, 2009 3:46 PM

The Bainbridge house is in a remarkable-looking row. Perhaps that and the fact that it's a four family explains the very high price. I wish they'd included more photos and a floor plan. They say it's got every single detail intact. Would love to see more. Maybe I'll try to swing by the open house.

Posted by: mopar at August 7, 2009 3:57 PM

I'll certainly go to see it. Yes, that block is landmarked.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 7, 2009 4:07 PM

I really like the look of the one on Jefferson St. too. Anyone know that block? I thought places up that away were more like in the 500 range. But this house does look very clean and recently updated, not in need of any work.

Posted by: mopar at August 7, 2009 4:15 PM

That Jefferson Block is very nice and will be landmarked soon as Stuyvesant Heights North... That is the block NYmag did the article on a few years back...

As Amzi said: Bedford - Stuyvesant is a merger of two neighborhoods, Stuyvesant Heights is not something that brokers just made up. Although, their use of it is clearly meant to rinse any perceived negative connotations "Bed-Stuy" may have on perspective buyers. It also makes it easier to tack on an extra 400,000k

While we're at it, 19th Street house is Windsor Terrace, not Greenwood Heights.
