Three Mixed-Use Buildings Rising at Putnam and Bedford in Bed Stuy [Brownstoner]
Why are taxes so high on these places? No abatement?
The 2 bedrooms are apartments designed for young families who employ life coaches and personal organizers, and who will be moving to Pelham in four years “for the children,” because city life is so hard.
Of course, city life would be quite pleasant if they had closets, bookshelves, and more than 850 square feet… but some people who want to spend 850K on a condo think they do not need such luxuries. After all, in 1914, their great grandmothers managed in four room railroads that were only slightly nicer than these apartments. Well… okay, their great-grandmothers did have larger kitchens. And more light and air because the buildings were required to have air shafts. But they did not have internet! Or beautiful, miraculous heating and cooling units that fit below their windows!

The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
This is not meant for people with stuff. If anything it is meant for the young single person a few years out of school with or without roommates. That is the push behind the development, young hipsters moving in, with likely familial support for the down payment. I can even see an even more ambitious type of purchaser, the family who buys an apartment at $379,000 for the young college kid to live in while s/he goes to school and work in the city, to be sold at a higher price once it is time to move.
such bad layouts.
where do you put the tv?
the closet in the bedroom will hold 3 pants, 4 shirts, 2 skirts and 2 dresses. where do you put the rest of your stuff??
meh rental quality finishes for nearly 1000 PSF
This is a great location. But almost a $1000 per sq ft is insane. No comment on the finishes.
Agreed. Without $1.5m to drop on a townhouse, there’s no other way to buy in this neighborhood.
