The NYC.GOV website has all the maps. Here’s the map for Stuyvesant Hieghts:

the Windsor Terrace house doesn’t have enough teapots in their kitchen.
The Bedstuy home is nice.
slight highjack but how do you find out if a block is landmarked, and if so what the boundaries of the landmarking are?
you realize those grade mean they are improving (like from very shitty to somewhat shitty)..they dont indicate that the schools are the “A” caliber
stop with the deceptive advertising
I was in contract negotiations for the place on Macon, and ultimately bailed because we found a place we like better and things were getting drawn out. I hope they got the stuff we brought to their attention resolved. That said, here are the things to look out for – the extension off the back was put on by the owners previous to this one and was not permitted, so there’s a big open violation on that bad boy. Don’t let yourself get stuck with that. Also, as a previous poster mentioned, the basement has a mold issue. Our inspector recommended taking down all the pretty walls they’ve put up down there and getting some ventilation – those foundation walls need to breathe. Finally, do all your homework with DoB, which you should be doing anyway, but do it here.
All of this said, it’s a lovely house and I hope it finds a lovely owner. I would be willing to share my inspector’s report for anyone who’s interested. Let me know how to get in touch with you via this board.
Previous poster: It’s on a landmarked block, but just outside the landmark boundary, so you kind of have the best of both worlds.
yes, many of the local williamsburg schools look very good.
in the williamsburg or greenpoint neighborhoods area:
PS 13 (Roberto Clemente, S3 & Keap) B
PS 17 (Henry Woodworth, N5 & Driggs) B
PS 18 (Edward Bush, Maujer & Leonard) A
PS 31 (Samuel Dupont, Meserole & Guernsey) A
PS 34 (Oliver Perry, Norman & Eckford) A
PS 110 (The Monitor, Driggs & Monitor) B
PS 132 (Conselyea, Manhattan & Metro) A
if you have over $800 move somewhere besides bed-stuy like williamsburg or greenpoint. according to the school grading from last week all of the local schools are doing really well. by the time your little one is ready for school, they’ll be even better.
also, there are tons of young families there. join the yahoo group: brooklynbabyhui. it’s an amazing parents group for the williamsburg/greenpoint area. or visit mamalu’s on N.12th to check out the local parents/baby scene.
I am sick of paying near $2000 for a one bedroom in LES and my family is growing my mini me will be here SOON and I need space fast… The other houses look great but the Macon is more in my Budget… Is this Macon house near the landmark part of Bedford Stuyvesnat? I really like that section of Bedford Stuyvesant and the neighborhood seems perfect for my family. Only thing I worry about is the schools in that area…
