Appreciating Stuyvesant Heights
Tuesday’s House of the Day discussion got a lot of people talking about Stuyvesant Heights. One reader who lives in the neighborhood sent these pics in to give a visual taste of the neighborhood.

Anonymous, keen insight! NOW GO BUY ELSEWHERE AND LEAVE THE REST OF US HAPPY HOMEOWNERS ALONE ALREADY!! STOP BEYACHING AND MOANING SIMPLY BECAUSE YOUR BROKE BUTT IS PRICED OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!
Stuyvesant Heights reminds me of PLG in that there are exquisite townhouses that are seriously OVER-valued with respect to the more gentrified neighborhoods.

The houses at 402-416 Stuyvesant Avenue are right around the corner from the wrongly-maligned Bainbridge Street house…btw, 404 Stuyvesant Avenue is featured in Bricks and Brownstone.
you mean, she’s in drag? Goodness! Must be a take on one of those Shakespearean plays! (See- we can both be right!) 🙂
Maybe they are there for gay pride and people from the rainbow crowd in Bed-Stuy?
Actually, Bx2Bklyn, the “lady” on the left is a gent with a moustache. See the linked photo for a larger picture of the 2 houses.
I’m betting these are portraits, too. If not custom done for the first homeowners, then they could be relatives of the builders or even the craftsmen. We’ll probably never know.

Love the picture of the Knight and Lady. Unfortunately for the lady, I think the limestone has weathered a bit away under her nose.
I wondered if those were portatits too- a lot if the architectural ornament in these neighborhoods have faces that aren’t generic, ornamental faces and they look more like portraits. Would be fascinating to find out.
oooooh my car is in this picture! I feel kinda famous now.
