I hope some of the new Bed Stuy posters throw some love over to the bedstuyblog. It’s a great site run by women who live in the community. (I’m not affiliated.)
So many new Bed Stuy posters, all of whom are happy to be there, and eager to better the community. This is great. Most of you seem to be in the Stuy Hts area. Is anyone near my old stomping grounds of Jefferson, Marcy and Thompkins? As happy as I am, where I am, I have to admit, my old block was the best in terms of what makes a neighborhood. Concerned, watchful, old time neighbors, who knew everyone’s names, including ALL of the kids. A cast of characters, good and not so good, a myriad of occupations and skills, the generous and the petty, all on a beautiful and historic block.

I have to put a little something in for the 200 block of Monroe houses! This is my block and it has the strongest community of anywhere I have ever lived. Good block association, but even better, neighbors that have been here forever, know generations of each other, and welcome with open arms the new generations moving in. I’ve been here five years and hope to see some people buy these houses who plan to live in them and give them the love they deserve. That will only help the block and the houses. Also, I think they are about 100K overpriced given the condition/level of work etc – don’t hesitate to make an offer, you never know! And I look forward to meeting my new neighbors!
I just think it is great to see that Bedford Stuyvesant has its own open house post and no one acted like an idiot about it, except the what.
btw, what, as a real estate broker, you were part of the “mutant” asset problem and now you bitch and moan about it. You are an idiot.
I have to say, I like the house for $700K. You can probably get it for $650 and it is near the A/C at Nostrand, the Franklin Avenue shuttle, the supermarkets, banks and stores on Fulton without dealing with the foot traffic and you can get on the LIRR at Nostrand for a quick getaway to the island in the summer.
The houses in the Heights are really nice, but a little rich for my blood.
Some areas in the Bedford Stuyvesant could use Gentrification especially in the Northern part of the neighborhood were you have many abandon warehouse in empty lots. Near the Clinton Hill/ Bedford Stuyvesant line between Franklin and Bedford many of those blocks need help. It is not a really smooth transition between CH and BS like CH and FG. Fulton street also would work nice as a college street… But this is just a dream…
I saw these all:
408 Stuy: The tenant is now out and it will be closing.
404 Stuy: Closed for 1.115 mil (without my name on the deed, unfortunately)
404 Hancock: A good quality reno with attention to original detail.
263 Stuy: Not much needs to be done here. Great house at a fair price.
That would do a lot for the area Amzi Hill, but good lord, imagine the “gentrificonfrontation” war that would erupt on this and other blogs if that happened! lol
You know what would be really great for the community is some type of college. Over 70 years ago St. Johns University was once headquarter in Bedford Stuyvesant and many of the buildings still stand. Half of the neighborhood is truly beautiful but the other half needs help. If one of the NYC schools came to the area that would be a great boost for Bedford Stuyvesant.
