Upscale Green Townhouses Coming to Bed Stuy
Here’s a rendering for a trio of green, modular townhouses planned for a plot of land in Bed Stuy across the street from Restoration Plaza. Designed by Garrison Architects, the 2,900-square-foot houses have highly efficient heating, insulation and lighting systems. They also look pretty darn good, we think.

Here’s a rendering for a trio of green, modular townhouses planned for a plot of land in Bed Stuy across the street from Restoration Plaza. Designed by Garrison Architects, the 2,900-square-foot houses have highly efficient heating, insulation and lighting systems. They also look pretty darn good, we think. According to the listing agent, one of the three houses is already spoken for, which is impressive since a $1,300,000 price tag isn’t easy to pull off in this part of town these days. Then again, nothing like this has been done in the area as far as we know. Think they’ll be a market for this approach?

“Someday people wont have to spend half their income on rent.”
As long as I’ve lived in NYC (about 30 years) I’ve paid half my income in rent.
You have a totally suburban mindset, the What.
You really weren’t meant to live in New York City.
Which is, I guess why you don’t any longer…
I know they wont put my reply to this crap! But one thing I know. The Market forces will correct this bubble. I know the day is coming. I don’t know when that day is but I know it’s coming. Someday the smugness is gonna end. Someday Inflation will subside itself. Someday people wont have to spend half their income on rent. Someday a couple can buy a house at 3x income. Someday the developers will not damage a neighbor’s house to build a 20 story condo. Someday this city will be affordable again. Someday gas will be at 2.00 a gallon. Someday this war is gonna end…..
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
if you deal with trash, you get trash.
Who are teh idiots who think a 2-family 3 story was ever 900K in bed-stuy? Show me one sale that went for that much and show me a comp that sold for 700K. I dare you to find one. You can’t. The prices are not going down to $400K.
Don’t feel bad if you have been priced out. Those of us who were smart enough to buy will not miss you.
Close the door behind you when you leave.
What = ghetto trash
Dave, no I didn’t end up at Union Hall, but thanks for the reference. That was a fun discussion last week!
I lived in Clinton Hill from 1989 until about a year ago. During the last 5 years, it was amazing to see all the white faces (and I am white) getting off the C train at Clinton-Washington. Relative old-timers like me would look at one another and say, hey, is this the right stop?
In the year I’ve lived in Bed-Stuy (north of the Nostrand Ave. stop on the A/C, near where Montrose Morris used to live), I’ve had the same experience–it’s amazing how many new white residents have moved here since I did. And it’s probably for the same reason I moved here, and I moved to Clinton Hill originally–I can afford it.
I live here with my 12-year-old daughter and neither of us has been hassled. We don’t have a car and take the subway all the time. No hassle. Ever.
I had my father’s car a few weeks ago and on my way home from LI, on Atlantic Ave., I turned right on Saratoga Ave. at the eastern edge of Bed-Stuy and then left on McDonough Ave. Blocks and blocks and blocks of spectacular houses, inside and out of the Stuy Heights Historic District. Try it sometime.
Brooks Valley has great fried catfish. And probably the nicest wait staff in all of New York City!!!
Did you wind up at Union Hall last week playing bocce and drinking with the frat boys and yelling at Old Man crow and that wretch across the street???
Meet any of those young girls screaming things we can’t print here anymore?
To quote a movie that was shot on location in Bed-Stuy…..

To those in the know, hope to see you when I’m walking around the “hood” with the 5th generation of my family to live here (my son). I’ll be the guy pushing a baby carriage in one hand and a plate of jerk from Brooks Valley in the other.
To those that talk. Keep yapping.
