In its 5-borough round-up of affordable neighborhoods, the Daily News has this to say about its Brooklyn pick, Bedford Stuyvesant:
Rental apartments can be found in its handsome brownstones and brick row houses — just like in pricier Brooklyn nabes. Once stigmatized for its high crime rate (and parodied in the Chris Rock TV show “Everybody Hates Chris”), Bedford-Stuyvesant has turned around and is popular with brownstone buyers. And transportation’s a cinch — the A train gets you to lower Manhattan in 15 minutes, and midtown in 25 minutes. One-bedrooms are available for $1,000 to $1,100 per month in Bed-Stuy — in Brooklyn Heights, they’re $1,700 to $2,000.
Other bargain nabes around the city included Bayside (Queens), Tremont and Belmont (Bronx) and much of Staten Island.
