Moving From Clinton Hll to Bed-Stuy
Hello everyone, We are considering leaving our Clinton Hill condo for a brownstone in Bed-Stuy (owner duplex with garden rental). If you have done this… What do you feel are the pros and cons? Do you miss the “C” train or Ft. Greene park? What are your neighborhood restaurants and grocery stores? Is it easy…
Hello everyone,
We are considering leaving our Clinton Hill condo for a brownstone in Bed-Stuy (owner duplex with garden rental). If you have done this… What do you feel are the pros and cons? Do you miss the “C” train or Ft. Greene park? What are your neighborhood restaurants and grocery stores? Is it easy to rent your apt? Any thoughts, concerns, joys, and pains you can share are very welcome.
Thanks!
ha, i don’t think anybody would miss the C … or the G for that matter if it could be avoided. then again, if you’re in the middle of Bed-Stuy and are forced take buses, the C starts looking pretty good 🙂
Well good for you DIBS
m4l – yes, DIBS will not have a happy time in any of the mainstream retirement destinations, he’ll definitely need to maintain some premises where all the excitement is.
Ditto, DIBS is going to live in Queens afterwards – in Flushing (he heard there’s lots of “talent” there)
Yes, ditto. haven’t actually decided when, but most likely in the next year.
DIBS why are you selling – are you retiring?
We made the move from a coop in Fort Green to a house in Stuyvesant Heights. Once I got it in my head that I was really living in an apartment, I had to go. I would say a house is always better. The next question is how much do you want to spend?
dibs- why are you selling? (just interested if it is a quality of life/changing locations for a specific reason). IN terms of price, it really depends on what the brownstone needs. Are not looking to spend more than 850K.
Your so right Dave.. I would say if your buying in Bedford Stuyvesant you should buy near the Nostrand or Utica stop on the A.. If you like the C you can add Kingston. If I was to buy in Bedford Stuyvesant right now I would buy in the south near a A express stop. Your property value would hold much better…
Trust me, you’ll never miss the C. The A is much better.
How much you looking to spend? Mine on Stuyvesant Ave might be for sale soon.
