Co-op of the Day: 93 Lexington Avenue
This has to be one of the nicer bachelor pads in Bed Stuy. The open plan of the co-op at 93 Lexington Avenue isn’t for everyone, but the open loft makes for a pretty sweet entertaining space. While we’re not always fans of exposed brick and track lighting, we think they work nicely in this…
This has to be one of the nicer bachelor pads in Bed Stuy. The open plan of the co-op at 93 Lexington Avenue isn’t for everyone, but the open loft makes for a pretty sweet entertaining space. While we’re not always fans of exposed brick and track lighting, we think they work nicely in this case. And, as we’ve said before, we dig the width of Lexington Avenue and the range of attractive old industrial buildings that line it. After more than three months on the market at $1,300,000, the 2,500-square-foot pad was just reduced to $1,195,000. As nice a place as we think it is, this is still far from a lay-up. See for yourself on Sunday from 2:30 to 4:30.

Sorry…is this the thread talking about that loft on Lex Av???
I’m from Europe. Don’t get you guys sometimes….Great country, but everyone is obsessed with race. OBSESSED.
I got my citizenship last year. I thought it’d be great to vote for president this year. Don’t even talk about it anymore. If I say I like one candidate over the other I’d probably be labeled sexist, racist or ageist. God almighty people, relax. If you don’t like being around people who look different or pray differently move down south or to any of huge amount of countries in Europe.
oh puhlease ,moreteasir! And plenty of white people can’t stand other white people- so what? But its a very different thing to make blanket statements about any one group- especially when those people obviously have no real knowledge or experience with either the neighborhood or its people. Dave didn’t inject race into this discussion, he simply pointed it out. And i am always amazed how offended those posters who make those blatantly biased statements are when they’re called on it.
So in other words, you want the “fun” of being offensive without the responsibility. You and your little CHL friend just don’t get it. And you probably never will.

right on the money, 11:20. this part of bed stuy (westbed, bed stuy, whatever you want to call it) is 1/2 a block from clinton hill, technically. it is thriving-but many of you wouldn’t get it, because you don’t see boutiques and cafes on every corner…don’t worry, they will come, just like they did in fg/ch.
it’s a 3 min. walk to the brooklyn flea, around the corner from choice…
I think it’s racist to assume that only white people could dislike some black people. Some blacks can’t stand some blacks either!
Besides, all I said was that there’s higher crime in Bedstuy….I addressed race when DaveinBedstuy brought it up.
Ah the class/race wars yet again. Despite Dave’s comments comparing Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy (sorry Dave, I live in CH and love it- they are both great nabes so we can do without that stuff), in so far as Clinton Hill Lady, he is spot on. I find so many people just love to make grand, obnoxious sweeping statements about neighborhoods they have never lived in and don’t know, but they are really spewing racist crap. Of course they think it sounds so much more palatable if they try to disguise it as faux economic anthropology.
Or she could be using the “vision of honesty” mode- “well, it’s just reality! I’m only being honest!” Hmmm….no… that was moreteasir.
I also love the very subtle, “how can I be a racist, I’m complimenting the Jews” dichotomy.
I hate to be the one to burst your little Hasidic neighborhoods are so safe bubble but a Black police officer’s son, a college student on the way home from school, was jumped and badly beaten by some Hasidic men just for walking down the street. Hasidic neighborhoods have problems too- and don’t tell me I am biased. My family was orthodox until my early teens, and then conservative.
Montrose Morris is quite right- the kids get it, but it takes us adults to screw it up.
brownsville, east new york and ocean hill are to the east of bed stuy, actually.
and 75% of the residents live below the poverty line.
that’s not changing anytime soon.
Real Estate Investing for Dummies:
What neighborhood is bounded by Clinton Hill/Fort Greene to the West, Williamsburg to the North, Bushwick to the East and Crown Heights to the South?
This same neighborhood is about 15 minutes to Manhattan and serviced by the A train, the G train and the J train.
This same neighborhood is the last place in NYC where one can still find a brownstone routinely for under 800K.
Despite the most dire predictions of doom and gloom, new york real estate appears to have weathered the storm with the possibility of a recession fading fast.
This same neighborhood is located within a world capital mind you with all the cultural advantages of that designation.
How many times do dummies have to be told to buy on the dips, whether it be in real estate, stocks or commodities?
No wonder some people never get ahead.
I think this place looks great but I think the price is a but high for now… But I will check it out for myself this weekend… I would love to see a million dollar apt in Bedford Stuyvesant
After this open house comes see 95 Lexington Avenue, 20 new loft condos.
