Bedford-Stuyvesant House Tours Lure Younger Buyers [NY Daily News]
If money were no object, no one would CHOOSE Bed Stuy over Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Ft. Greene, Brooklyn Heights or really any other neighborhood.
That says something, no?
Bed Stuy might have the best brownstones in Brooklyn, but it is also the most dangerous, crime-ridden neighborhood in Brownstone Brooklyn.
There is a trade off.
Bed Stuy has the best brownstones in Brooklyn, period. The homes are astonishing.Too bad you probably wont get to see those homes cause I wouldnt allow strangers in my home either but Chauncey,Bainbridge,Stuyvesant,those streets have the best brownstones , owned predominantly by hard working African Americans who keep them up as much as anyone else.As for the poster who asked will crack houses be on the tour,only if you let them in.
I’m talking about NEW BUYERS. You see, at the last four open houses I went to in Bed Stuy, everyone except the realtor was white and in their 30s, early 40s.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
2:54 – YES!
Sincerely, hard-working black professional who bought a home.
1:32 there are plenty of buppies as well as plain hardworking black folks buying these homes, it is insane to even make such an uniformed comment.
Well, will whoever has the crack pipe please pass it this way? This gloomy weather is making me sleepy.
12:46 – No, YOU’VE been smoking the crack pipe, AND proving my point, besides.
