in 5 more years, it will be 3rd Avenue, 12:52.
but most people on here will fight it tooth and nail and claim every listing is overpriced, no matter what.
it amazes me how people who have lived in this city long enough don’t see what’s happening around them, but put blinders on, cover their ears and just pretend that it’s not happening.
i even called the other day to make a reservation at hotel le bleu for my uncle…you know…the one everyone here claims to hate….it was sold out.
The Salvation Army is gone. Isn’t that where they built the 5One5 “green” condos?
Bed Stuy ain’t winning the best neighborhood in the U.S. award anytime soon. I can tell ya that right now.
Even if every woman in the neighborhood won the largest rack award.
All I can say is that 4th Ave is now the official western border of big bucks PSlope (especially 4th – 5th Avenues above 9th Street)! Amazing how far it’s come along in 5 years. House prices, 5th Ave shops, etc.
I doubt Professor Dolkart ever crossed 9th street. Certainly not below 7th Avenue.
I love Salvation Army. Doesn’t get much more “hip” than that in this day of hipsters and vintage clothing.
Ever been to a Salvation Army in 2008? It’s all white kids in skinny jeans and canvas bags and sunglasses at 2pm.
Not the symbol of ghetto as you would have people believe, 12:44.
thank you 12:37 bed stuy incl stuyvesant heights is way larger than parkslope and still has more brownstone. dolkart is wrong
Bed Stuy is not intact. Many areas have been ruined with Fedders buildings breaking up the lovely brownstone blocks.
There is no way to make it intact after it has been broken up.
I agree bed stuy has nice houses, but it won’t be till the next housing boom in 2030 that the neighborhood resembles anything that would attract significant gentrification again.
It will coast for a while, or slip down a bit as it is now. I heard 1 in 10 homes in Bed Stuy are in some stage of foreclosure.
I’m pretty sure Professor Dolkart wasn’t talking about 13th Street and 5th Avenue, which has such fine examples of late-19th Street architecture as the Dee & Dee store, the old Salvation Army site, and Cookies.
Never mind that there’s multiple dwellings and a one-story health clinic on that block of 13th. Not exactly intact.
