House of the Day: 590 Decatur Street
For a house with a ton of charm and not in need of a ton of work, 590 Decatur Street seems reasonably priced at $699,000. The only drawback we can see is that it’s pretty far east into Bed Stuy–several blocks beyond Stuyvesant Heights. It’s about equi-distant from the Ralph Avenue C train and the…
For a house with a ton of charm and not in need of a ton of work, 590 Decatur Street seems reasonably priced at $699,000. The only drawback we can see is that it’s pretty far east into Bed Stuy–several blocks beyond Stuyvesant Heights. It’s about equi-distant from the Ralph Avenue C train and the Halsey Street J train. The three-story, two-family house in one in a row of charmer, though. Any readers live right around here? What are the services like?

Brownstoner: don’t you know you can’t win, no matter what you say it will turn ugly. It’s really getting pathetic. EVERYTHING turns into either a race issue or a “my neighborhood is better than yours” issue–boring!
I appreciate the comment 9:39pm, but it is still under construction and it was the most intelligent response I had to all the posts I am reading. Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks Bedstuy agent for letting us know about the new site. Please ignore the negative feedback – you told us it was under construction, and I am sure you just let us know in a (seemingly futile) attempt to get this thread back on a less polemical and more informative track. I actually thought it was pretty nifty – but I don’t hold myself out as a webamster – that’s the beau’s job. I stopped by Bushbaby recently for the first time and was very impressed by the place. I don’t think that is anywhere near the property we are speaking about (some of us anyway). Even though I live right on the border of Bedstuy and Clinton Hill, I rarely walk that way. Fulton Street is far more vibrant in Bedstuy than in Clinton Hill.
Here’s what I don’t get. Nobody is stealing these people’s brownstones from them. They have been there for years and are making a pretty penny. Why is that bad?
Wow I appreciate your efforts to promote businesses in the neighborhood but that site needs a LOT of work.
Perhaps you should hold off promoting it until you can consider it finished? First impressions count!
Please check out our new site shopbedstuy.com we created a business alliance in January consisting of about 40 businesses in Bed Stuy and I think we have a couple of the best coffee shops and restaurants in town. Common Grounds is having her grand opening on july 16th at 10:00am and Marty Markowitz will be there so it should be safe.
P.S. The site is still under construction but you will get the idea.
Can anyone explain to me why real estate is the one thing that the free market doesn’t reign?
I dont know about any of you, but if one person will pay me $1 for my apple and another will pay me $2, I sell the apple for $2.
Likewise, if I want the apple, I pay the $2 or find a cheaper apple.
All we need now is for Beeotch to remind us of her marriage and we have a PPPARRRRTTTAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously people, did Brooklyn move to Alabama or something. “Oh Noes! White people.”
If this thread were about Blacks in Mill Basin, we’d all be cheering about “diversity”. How is whites in Bed-Stuy not “diversity”?
Remember when everyone was talking about how there were almost no black people at the post Clinton Hill house tour party at Ici? At the time I though it was much ado about nothing. Now I’m not so sure.
