This Bed Stuy two-and-a-half-bedroom apartment is looking pretty and asking $1,700 a month. The kitchen is tiny but the bedrooms look spacious and the detailing well maintained. The apartment is a block east of Stuyvesant Heights, at Patchen Avenue. What do you make the pricing for the location? 274 Bainbridge Street [Weichert H.P. Greenfield] GMAP…

I thought some of my landlords cheaped out kitchen cabinets- this one is ridic. Been gone from Bed-Stuy for almost 3 years now, but price seems high. We lived on Monroe betw. Lewis & Stuyvesant and paid $1250 for a floor-through. This part of the neighborhood- further south and east- was generally in worse shape than where we lived. Even still, my bf was jumped walking home from the A train one morning, was harassed by cops coming from the other direction one night, and we were both surrounded by a group of thugs-in-training one night walking home from dinner on Lewis. So unless things have drastically changed in this part of Bed-Stuy, I would say it’s greatly overpriced. There were other reasons we left the neighborhood, like lack of services. I hear things are changing but every time we go back it looks pretty much the same.
“What do you make the pricing for the location?”
I think it’s depressing as hell — what am I supposed to think?
