    #6 is nice and it feels cozy. Theres a lot you can do with that space

    This popped onto my homepage - I've lived in Bed-Stuy (on Hancock near Nostrand) since 2019 and there are a LOT of new builds going up all around! I love this neighborhood and would totally recommend it if you have a chance to see more :) The community here is amazing. Of the choices shown here, I liked #3 the most... but I'd be a bit worried living right on top of the BQE like that, especially north of it. The more enjoyable areas for food and community in Fort Greene are south of the BQE, and I personally would find it a hassle to constantly be walking back and forth underneath an interstate whenever I want to go to Myrtle for food! That's just my perspective haha. Good luck with your search!!

      First of all, thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully share this!!
      Yesss will definitely be keeping more of Bed Stuy in mind. If not hanging out there and supporting the businesses for sure! If you have recommendations for food/drinks/etc. would love for you to share as well!
      Definitely agree with all of your points on #3. We felt that way as well, it was quite in there but prob not the most responsible to live literally in the highway 😂. When we were touring we felt that as well about having to go back and forth under the highway alittle disconnect from the neighborhood itself. But a good option.
      Thank you again!

      In 2019, we stayed in a Broadway hotel hard up against the elevated tracks. I really liked the little bit of Bed-Stuy that we saw and was reminded of my south east London neighbourhoods. I did notice what seemed to be recent new builds, and all the empty plots that were earmarked for construction. The drawback for us as tourists was that we spent a lot of time clattering our way onto Manhattan and back again.

    #6 was my absolute favorite! I wanted a similar unit in my same building, but it was already rented, and I ended up in the top floor.
    Good thing, because after moving in, NYC flooded a few weeks later in 2022. My lower level would have been soaked. So don't get a basement or below grade unit.
    You may also want to avoid any new buildings with only ONE elevator. Mine has been problematic since moving in, and I pay too much for an 8th floor walk up!

    • @NiaMac_
      @NiaMac_  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I know it was hard to pass up almost double the space for similar price but just not what we are looking for right now! It didn’t have any amenities so we would have made for the price in gym and other fees elsewhere..
      Neighborhood is hard! They each have their own vibe but if you are ever in Brooklyn again I would say explore past downtown. Lots of great spots, especially black owned businesses in Flatbush and Bed Stuy. Williamsburg and Bushwick cool thrift shops, vintage and coffee shops! So much more but that’s a good start.
