Been spending a lot of time walking around Bed-Stuy lately while apartment hunting and I can’t tell if I’m overthinking everything or if the neighborhood really changes block by block that much. Some areas seem super quiet and well maintained, then you turn a corner and suddenly half the buildings have terrible complaint histories or management reviews. I’ve been checking streetsmart while researching places and it made me rethink a few apartments I was originally excited about.
I want to know what people who actually live there think, what’s the part of renting in Bed-Stuy that newcomers usually underestimate?
