no thank you 4:35 I think the dividing line should be Gates ave. yall can keep those projects 🙂
Look homeowner, we ain’t from here, so just as the folks before us have done, we’re bringing in our own distinctions so that we can make some sense of this large unwieldy neighborhood. Who ever heard of giving such a large area one name? And from what I’ve heard BS is smaller now that it once was. Weren’t some people living in Clinton Hill (or even Fort Greene) saying that they lived in BS years ago? Madness!
If blocks upon blocks upon blocks of land are given one name, then there needs to be some sort of additional wording to pinpoint location. Saying you live in Bed-Stuy is like saying you live in America. Doesn’t tell you much.
I gather from your message that you are in “North” Stuy…..I just started a thread to see if there are others who ride the J, M, Z train and are exploring the area of BedStuy around Broadway/Myrtle and Kosciusco….I’ve been here in “North Stuy” two years and still think there must be or could be some cool stuff springing up besides the endless hair weaving shops and Bodegas….. Anyway, hopefully others will respond to my Myrtle/Broadway post….
I’m on the A/C lines between Fulton Avenue and Madison Street. Honestly, I’m still trying to figure out the whole neighborhood naming game, though I think I’m smack in the middle of BedStuy, you true Brooklynites, may know better. So, feel to correct me. I can hardly wait until the warmer weather so that I can walk and truly see “where I’m at.” Right now, your lively posts on the subject are very enlightening.
Cranky comment here…. what is it with Filmore? Why can’t they provide multiple photos for a listing? They are also usually crappy pictures. Why can’t they provide direct links to the actual property? I like the looks of the Bed Sty property but how can you decide if you want to bother with the open House if you have one bad picture of the front behind a tree? Is that a drive by shot? The price isn’t cheap, but you don’t know why. The Midwood property looks a little sad – is that vinyl siding, why the stark black and white in the bathrooms? Dang, why go through the trouble to renovate if you are going to come up with that? That’s the thing with renovators with no taste – you have to pay for it and then pay again to make it nice. It’s not like the place is cheap. Anyway, thank God it’s Friday. Have a nice weekend everybody.
The PLG house was listed on Craiglist earlier this week as an FSBO for 550. I though that was a good price since I haven’t seen anything that close to the park for under 700 (though I am not familiar with this neighborhood, I have read similar high-crime comments about my neighborhood, Crown Heights North, which I credit mostly to racial prejudice, however unwitting). I guess the guy went with a big name broker who convinced him he was selling himself short. My husband went to look at the place and said it was quite nice, with some interesting details, though a bit worn. The basement has no windows, and the yard is facing the rear of an apartment building so does not afford much privacy. The park and the Q are very close, though, and if you work in midtown the Q will get you there very fast.
Anon at March 9, 2007 3:59 PM, you asked:
“…where are the listings for the houses on Rugby and Wellington Ct. to be found?”
Good question. Don’t know the answer. But both houses have “for sale” signs swinging out front by the sidewalks and I’ve been inside both of them.
The Wellington Ct house is listed with a broker. But the Rugby Road house may be a private sale. However, the long-term owner sold the house at least a year ago and the current owner was, I believe, motivated to flip it for a quick profit.
That strategy is probably not working with this house. It’s a decent place, but it lacks a driveway. Though parking is not a problem in the neighborhood, those without driveways are still hassled by alternate-side parking rules twice a week.
Rugby is one-way. Both houses are between Glenwood and Avenue H.
Hey Stockholder Revolt, where are the listings for the houses on Rugby and Wellington Ct. to be found? I can’t find them online.
If you’re referring to the houses for sale on Sterling and Lefferts (apart from the one at Elliman), they’re listed with your typical no-name Brooklyn brokers — their advertising is virtually nil and they don’t co-broke. Your best solution here is to get out and walk the blocks — they have “for sale” signs out front.
