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…

PropJoe, Do the Right Thing came out in 1989.
Bed Stuy is different. NYC is different. People’s attitudes towards living in BS are different. And if you really want to nit pick, the setting for the movie was waaaayyyyyy on the other side of Bed Stuy, nowhere near this house.
Different, different, different.
The only thing that has remained the same may be some people’s ignorant attitudes. For a guy who has lived in a number of places, but NOT Bed Stuy, you disappoint. Don’t get your information from a film.
BedStuy is da bomb yo!
It stands to reason that in a time when people are trying to move back closer to the city, neighborhoods that were once considered dangerous and shady (ie – black or Latino) are now called up and coming and “the next”, especially if they are within an 45 minute commute to midtown Manhattan, or have great architecture. Look at Harlem. Look at Bed Stuy and Crown Heights.
I think it is exceptionally ignorant of people like PropJoe to deride anyone’s choice of neighborhood. The thousands of people who have called these neighborhoods home for generations are finally enjoying some of the sweet rewards of perserverance, and newcomers of all persuasions are settling in and finding life here to be good. I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it again – to buy here, especially in the prime parts of BS and CH, is a good move. I don’t advise overpaying for anywhere, but to buy for a fair market price will reward you with a good home, and a solid investment for the future. We are in an urban cycle of habitation again. Why not buy, or live, in an urban neighborhood that is still somewhat reasonable, and hold on? Especially in a neighborhood with such beautiful, architecture, wide streets, and ease of transportation? Neighborhoods which are still fraught with social problems, but certainly not the war zone some would like to think they are.
Now I can see where this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and I’m fine with that. 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.
PropJoe, “mad ghetto”?
DIBs – Why is Staten Island a whole different world? What makes you say that? There are a lot of great things going on in SI right now to help cultivate the community.
jbes – I know, which is why I finally decided to move there. I’m looking at a couple of different places right now.
Didn’t Spike film Do the Right Thang in Bed Stuy. Uuugh!
jbes, when was the last time you were in Bed-Stuy? Where, exactly, did you go in teh neighborhood? Interested to know what is forming your opinion.
jbes There are projects in Fort Greene, Chelsea, LES and other “desired” neighborhoods. The projects being in an area does not define the area, especially one as large as Bed-Stuy. One the other hand, it is nice that people who have moved here really appreciate the area and its growing diversity.
Those who just see Bed-Stuy as a ghetto are more than welcome to stay away.
