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…

Dave is just jealous that he’s stuck in dirty Bed Stuy while I own in prime Fort Greene near BAM

StuySoccerMom must be a Sista ’cause if I were a whitey, ain’t no way I’d be raising my kids in Bed Stuy, son. Just ain’t happening. Blacks in this hood don’t want to see any whiteys taking over. Definitely a high high crime area.
Okay people, for the last time (I wish): Bed-Stuy is a HUGE neighborhood, and while some parts of it are pretty rough, other parts are not. Saying that this part of the South Stuy is “mad ghetto” makes about as much sense as saying, “I’d never live in Fort Greene because of all the crime in Clinton Hill” or “I’d never live in Cobble Hill because of all the lawn ornaments in Carroll Gardens.”
I live pretty near here and walk by the intersection of Halsey and Nostrand every day. As you might guess from my moniker, I have small children. I would not live here if I felt unsafe.
As to whether this apartment is overvalued, I have no real opinion and will leave that to the better-informed folks.
$600 per square foot for a small apartment in a walk-up in Bed-Stuy is complete, total lunacy.
This kind of price is at the high end for the entirety of Brooklyn, let alone bed-stuy
I’d rather live in this place:

I have no issues with Bed-Stuy, but these aren’t going to move anytime soon at these prices. People are so gun-shy of the market that places like this are going to have to wait for the bottom. And who knows what that’s gonna be in B-S? I think 360k for the 1 brs and 499 for the bigger unit is more realistic.
As a point of comparison, we paid 425k in 2004 for a 715 sf 1 br in a full service elevator co-op at 93d and Amsterdam…
Second to Sty Heights, this part of halsey is one of the prettiest areas. Its also very convenient to the A train for a lightning speed commute.
I’m sure the reno was done on the cheap to keep costs down.
the split-in-half garden is skinny and not very inviting, and the layout for the garden unit looks cramped based on the floorplan. still could be a servicable 2br, although the price is at least $100k too high.
Now that Ikea is in town, maybe we’ll stop seeing so much of these these cherry-stained, shiny yellow granite, stainless appliance HD kitchens (with HD landlord special nipple lights, to boot). It’s like a bad song on the radio that gets played hourly and just won’t go away.
I have my house and don’t know why I even care about this anymore, but don’t the flippers know how sick of this look everyone is?
