NY Mag Annoints Bed Stuy as the Next Hipster Destination
New York Magazine has crowned Bed-Stuy the city’s next hipster enclave, citing competitively priced (say what?) new construction like the Mynt, where one-bedrooms will start at $1,700 a month.

New York Magazine has crowned Bed-Stuy the city’s next hipster enclave, citing competitively priced (say what?) new construction like the Mynt, where one-bedrooms will start at $1,700 a month. (Interestingly, though the Apartments & Lofts agent quoted by New York is a big Bed-Stuy booster, the brokerage’s listings for the Mynt peg it as Clinton Hill, not Bed-Stuy.) The mag contends the neighborhood is primed to shelter all manner of hipsterdom priced out of Clinton Hill. Bed-Stuy Blog weighs in on the ‘hood’s new designation:
Clearly this is mostly a North Stuy phenomenon. I’ve noticed that the part of Bed-Stuy serviced by the G train line looks like it’s getting more and more Clinton Hill and Williamsburg spillover as each month passes. I have no problems with this trend, especially if it means that maybe one day those elitists at Fresh Direct will finally decide to deliver to the Bed-Stuy sections of 11206 (they seem to think only the Bushwick section of 11206 is worthy of their fine goods and services). Maybe by spring the North Stuy will be The Next…place to get a decent grocery store.
So much for starving artists.

Look if it states that it is in the Stuy it is Stuy….and if you are still dumb enough to rent a 400 SQFT for over $900 you an idiot.
That area is absolutely Clinton Hills and should not be mistaken for NorSty.
That area of Bed Stuy is mostly Hassidic and the architecture is like hot shit in July. It STINKS!!!!
How could someone still rent? The banks have been handing out morgages for the last how many years?
You know what you folks who still rent are pissed off that you can not own a brownstone
in bed-Stuy period!!!!
Yes i see alot of White owning in Stuy and I see alot who rent apts!! and I commend them because they are not hung up on being around
Blacks….but those of you who still RENT!!1
I pity you.. you probably are paying $$$ for such shitty apts!!! and worse not even in
a culturally diverse neighborhood!
As a woman I can say that “hit that” will get it faster than “duh”.
10:58 – If you go around saying things like “totally hit that”, you will never “hit that”. Duh.
Actually, I suspect the photo was set up by Brownstoner staffers. It’s a bit too perfect looking – worn jeans, side-cocked trucker hat (which is OVER by the way), rolled-up-top sunbathing and, BEST OF ALL, a big fatty of BUD. It just screams “hipster”, but circa 2003.
One beds of 400sq. ft. go for $1700. in North Slope and Boerum Hill.
1 beds in north slope cost more than 1700.
on average.
