gatesThis Bed Stuy baby’s a beauty but it’s pushing the envelope price-wise. If you’re a believer in the long-term Bed Stuy story, though, this could be a wonderful place to grow old in. To be fair, the 5-story, 5,700-square-foot mansion is less than half a block from Clinton Hill, where this would probably cost another $500K. It’s hard to tell from the limited photos what the interiors are like, though the kitchen looks recently remodeled and the listing claims lots of original details. Anyone seen it yet

  1. I never saw the police stats angle as reason behind the lack of patrols in the Clinton Hill area, but it certainly makes sense. The lack of visible police presence in the neighborhood is disturbing compared to the regular foot patrols one views on Smith, Montague, 5th Ave, 6th Ave, etc. Granted the neighborhood has a different makeup–but come on, what the hell kind of offenses are occurring on the aforementioned streets. I know of at least three gun incidents on Myrtle in the last several months–two of which I was in the immediate vicinity. In contrast, you could use Clinton Hill parking meter squad as an alarm clock if only you could convince them to ring your buzzer everyday at 9am as they do their sweep…Apparently the neighborhood is a good source of revenue. Maybe I am paranoid, but I don’t recall this attentive level of meter enforcement when I lived in Boerum Hill.
