Yep, I think “Bedford Heights” as a complement to Stuyvesant Heights seems like the most likely outcome… probably the name will only start to catch on once the Western part of the BedStuy brownstone belt gets landmarked (which should have happened ages ago).
i absolutely agree that bs needs to be broken down into smaller named neighborhoods, just as almost every neighborhood in nyc has done. it won’t affect the history or the fabric of bs, it will only help it by making it easier to navigate…it is HUGE. even if it’s north stuy/west stuy/east stuy….something to give some clarity to the people who live there and for those who don’t. don’t fight it!!!
Jake, gates ave is perfect. Maybe years ago there was a large gate there like wall street. Marcy PJs are north of Gates.
sounds like we need a North, South and Central?
Nemo,
Sorry–I was out for the day. Babs is correct about the Sterling St. house–IN the PLG HD, but not in Lefferts Manor. She’s a bit off about the Parkside Ave.house, which is between Flatbush & Bedford (Anon. 5:23 is right). The McDonalds is on the corner of Ocean Ave. The Flatbush–Ocean block of Parkside is commercial. The Flatbush–Bedford block is residential and IMO has some of the nicest row houses anywhere, such as these:

This particular house is much plainer. The Maple street house you mention is also a fairly plain, red brick colonial revival, but certainly a nice house.
Oh, BTW, anon.3:26 is IMHO full of s**t !
“Alternative opinions” are not one-sentence blanket racist statements unspported by facts, all made by the same person pretending to have a conversation with himself that completely misrepresents an entire neighborhood without presenting even the slightest nuance or balance to his observations. If some conservative pundit from Ohio on Fox TV announces the entire city of NYC or L.A. is immoral, you jump all over him. And yet somehow here on brownstoner, it’s okay to dismiss an entire neighborhood in exactly the same manner. How nice.
Hey Babs,
I normally defer to your wisdom and experience, but fwiw, I’m afraid this time you have it wrong on the Parkside Avenue house. It most definitely not located across the street from McDonald’s (it’s at least a block away) nor is it situated next door to an Associated. I don’t even think there is a supermarket on that block.
gates the dividing line? that is so beyond dumb i can barely stand it. dumb, dumb, dumb because you would still have marcy pjs deeper in. i agree–name changes are critical for this large bed-stuy neighborhood. there is a similarity between dekalb to fulton/classon to nostrand maybe? how about now-noc (not williamsb /not clinton h). or class-strand. or classnos.(play on Russian “glasnost” or openness).
The Rugby Road house I think is in West Midwood at 745 Rugby Road, Mary Kay Gallaghers has it.
i’ve seen the greene ave home. great block. its on the clinton hill side of bedford ave., and if corcoran was listing it they’d have it listed as clinton hill, since they now use bedford as the BS starting point. there’s lots of upside. but the bottom line is this house needs substantial reno. $1.1 is way high.
