Jake…your assertion that Bed-Stuy is to large is elitist at best. The reisdents of Bed-Stuy have never had a problem with its size in the past and they don’t have a problem now. There has always been pride in stating you were from Bed-Stuy. The Push for breakingit into North, South, etc reaks of underlying racisim whether you realize it or not.
And please don’t think I am picking on you or am against some redevelopment in the neighborhood. But lets be honest here. Prior to the ridiculous price surges in the Slopes, CG, BH, FG and now Clinton Hills most pepople did not know or care about the areas architecture, services, safety,etc… until now. And now that the area has been discovered there is a push to define (read fragment) it because it now perceived as too large. Sorry I just don’t buy the size argument that has been put forth.
10:04, I work on Wall Street also and depending on what train you are near (since I am not sure where the armory is) most all of them come here –
I have used the C train to Broadway-Nassau and get out at the John Street exit (there is one for Nassau Street and one for William Street) and if your building is like mine and has a back exit (on Pine Street that is) you are only 2 blocks away. Just be prepared – the C train does not come as quickly as the A train. There is probably 1 C train very 15 minutes at rush hour.
You can also transfer at the Broadway Nassau station to the 2 train pretty easily and take that one more stop to wall Street, same with the Z, J or M train to Broad Street (which would leave you on the corner of Broad and Wall). I work closer to Broadway so I can also take the N or R to Rector Street.
the Madiba posts are from brooklynian as well
the point is that the neighborhood is too large and diverse to go under one name. decatur @ stuyvesant has little in common with kosciusko and bedford. so if i say i live in bed-stuy what does that mean? am i near pratt or restoration or bushwick?
what is this tompkins park north i saw on property shark?
i’m moving from my place in prospect heights over to ft. greene. does anyone live in the clermont armory? i just put down a security deposit this morning. it seems like a great place. i had a couple questions if anyone be so kind as to help:
1) is there a good primer on the area? i.e., restaurants, grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc.
2) what’s the parking situation like? easy/hard to find spots? streets to avoid?
3) best route to wall st? hopstop says take B54 to Hoyt Street – Fulton Mall and then to take the 2, 3.
any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
Funny to see a push on this board by some to rename Bed-Stuy. It appears that as the neighborhood has become more “gentrified” and the previous residents are being increasingly priced out that the area’s name is no longer “appropriate.” …News Flash Bed- Stuy by any other name is still Bed-Stuy in all its glorious diversity, accept it.
I just happened by the Greene Ave. House. It needs a TON-O-Work. That said, it has the potential to be an amazing house. The Ceilings are incredibly high.(no less than 15 feet) and it is a solid 20X45 Building… But there was no attempt in making this place presentable. i.e. the DEAD MOUSE ON THE FOURTH FLOOR!!!!
I was sort of skeeved out. The agent wasn’t that much more presentable either. The block is decent, not great. But I think the price is a tad bit too high. The owner was on the phone with the broker and reduced the price right on the spot to $999K
Go figure.
WOW! I am not surprised about 11 bids. It was a sweet house. I was shocked it was less than a million.No wonder there were 11 bids. It seems like it was worth more, to have a house on the park…
FYI, Ocean Ave. had 11 bids and they accepted an offer way over asking…
