The Neighborhood:
Located in the historic district of Bedford-Stuyvesant; today a vibrant urban Caribbean/African American community (sandwiched in between the fascinating Hasidic areas of Crown Heights and Williamsburg), only 15 minutes from Prospect Park and Brooklyn Botanical Gardens/Zoo & Museum of Art. More and more young professionals are moving to Bedford-Stuyvesant in search of a neighborhood community and for its character, convenience and value for money. Nowhere else can you find such luxurious, spacious living, in the heart of New York City and only a 20 minute subway ride to Greenwich Village. Be advised that this is an area in transition. It is quiet and neighbors are warm and very friendly and whilst you will find an abundance of fresh fruit, seafood, meat and grocery stores -- there are few local restaurants and coffee shops. Not to worry -- Fort Greene and Williamsburg are only minutes away on foot, by bus or subway and home to some of today's best bars and restaurants in Brooklyn
