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?

“As a white man with a black wife, I can tell you that was not the case with me…
Harrassed on a daily basis in Bed Stuy. People there were downright rude and nasty. And I’m talking about the majority, NOT the minority of people.”
It’s too bad that hapened to you and your wife. But I see a lot of interracial couples in Bed Stuy and Crown Heights. Many mixed couples. I haven’t seen any of the scapegoating and downright rudeness you’ve experienced. Are there jackass teenagers who make stupid comments and harrass people? Yes, of course, at times. But I acn tell you from experience that there are also very genuine friendships between newer white residents and the sizable black middle and professional class who have lived in Bed Stuy (and Crown Heights, for that matter) for the last 50 or so years. There are a lot of people, of both races, who find the place relatively safe, fun and amazingly beautiful, and treat each other with respect. I’m one of them.
2:55, then I believe there are still small towns in Vermont somewhere, that may not have crime, poverty, a knucklehead element, or poor schools. But then, maybe two out of four. Nowhere is perfect, and if you want to live in New York City, you are going to get one or more of those on the list, unless you have megabucks. Bed Stuy is not the only place with these issues.

“but do try to refrain from making ignorant, entitled, and racist statements like “my friends left and moved back to civilization.””
But it’s ok to say all the horrible comments (and MUCH MORE!) when speaking about Park Slope???
Please is right…
The poverty, crime, knucklehead element, paucity of good schools, etc, is here, too.

and these are the reasons why paying over 500K for any property in bed stuy is asinine.
good architecture or not.
Obviously, that long comment was from me.
“A lot of prospective buyers come to this website for information. If they were to see only Montrose’s comments, you’d think Bed Stuy was like Sesame Street.”
I had no idea my humble posts had such power. And since I have NEVER said that Bed Stuy was Eden, I had no idea so many people do so badly on reading comprehension. Amazing.
