Condos of the Day: 83 Halsey Street
This three-unit brownstone condo at 83 Halsey Street in Bedford Stuyvesant just hit the market last week. There are three units, two 725-square-footers priced at $425,000 and on 971-square-foot place priced at $550,000. It’s a beautiful building from the outside but the one interior photo is really NOT doing it for us. How do you…

The WHOLE area of Bed Stuy is ONE BIG PROJECT
Funny thing is that when I lived in Park Slope on St. Marks and between 5th and 6th ave the Wyckoff Houses are only 3 blocks away now I live in Stuyvesant Heights I think the nearest project is on Gates 8 blocks away or 8 blocks away in Crown Heights… So i am really missing the point about the projects. This end of Halsey street is really far from projects… Whats the nearest Marcy? The one in Clinton Hill off DeKalb?
jbes. I grew up in NYC and lived in 4 of the 5 boros, except SI.
Can you answer my question to you: when was the last time you were in Bed-Stuy? Where, exactly, did you go in the neighborhood? Interested to know what is forming your opinion.
Since you have failed to answer so far, I tend to think you have never been in the area.
BSandCHBorderBaby: I think they list it as CH to help support a higher price.
JBES: Born in Chicago, raised in Brooklyn Heights, have resided in Tribeca, SOHO & the East Village in 80’s and 90’s. Spent 4 years in Durham, NC attending University. Moved back to Brooklyn Heights in mid 90’s, left within 6 months to live in Fort Greene. Have been here ever since.
Just drove through BedStuy in my ride. That neighborhood is WAC, son. Peeps be playing dice on their stoops & drinking 40’s in broad daylight. Mostly able-bodied Negroes like myself. These peeps are the degradation of Bed Stuy & ain’t going away. Enjoy your crime infested ‘hood. Plus, who the hell wants to live 50 minutes away from Manhattan. I don’t get Bed Stuy at all.
meant grown up here.
Just wondering where most of you are from and how old you are? Prop Joe sounds like a New Yorker that has grown up. Am I right?
1 – I’ve been reading this thread and there seems to be no mention that this house is actually listed in Clinton Hill for some reason????? I wonder if brokers do that on purpose or are the truly kinda unaware….
2 – People will always buy, live, and love BedStuy no matter what misinformed midtown yokels think
“I just don’t see why someone’s decision to choose our neighborhoods has to be met with a poorly phrased, Ebonics laden put-down, obviously meant to illustrate the perceived social failings of those who live here now, to those who might be considering it.”
I agree with you, Montrose. It reminds me of the New Yorker cover. While it was meant to be satire, it actually feeds into those in our society who are not very intelligent and believe every stereotype they see or hear about.
It’s a form of fear mongering.
If PropJoe were a happy individual, confident in his own decisions in life, he would not feel the need to comment on another person’s desire to do something different than he would do.
He’s trying to scare people into believing what he believes, but unfortunately is speaking to an audience who are mostly more intelligent than he is.
