This is a long time location of the Bedford Y. There was an older building here which the Y owned and demolished in order to build a larger facility. It’s also home to one of the few indoor pools in the hood…
The kids’ swimming teachers at the Bedford Y are fantastic.
As a long-time Y member (McBurney), I whole-heartedly agree with Drew. The Y is a wonderful amenity for any neighborhood, provides much needed services to different groups in the community (ie. NOT based solely on the ability to pay) and should boost RE values to boot. What’s not to love?
I don’t know if I’d call that a prime location. I love Bed Stuy, but Bedford is not the prettiest avenue in the city. And the new Y is gonna make that location much better with an attractive courtyard out front and a great gym inside. To me it represents an amenity in an area where they are few and far between. And there is no shortage of developable lots all along Bedford, Nostrand, etc.
I go to the Y…there is a brand new one in my building and it has a pool, full size basketball courts, steam rooms, saunas, treadmills w/ TV’s (although I prefer to run outside), etc., etc., etc. Point being, not bad for a YMCA.
YMCA? Who goes to the Y? A waste of a prime location…
yep its the Y
I think the YMCA is expanding. It is a nice Y now, but is supposed to get even better.
