Bedford Stuyvesant

Brooklyn

Historic, tight-knit and evolving, Bedford–Stuyvesant (Bed-Stuy) is a dynamic neighborhood in the north central portion of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is bordered by Brooklyn Navy Yard, Clinton Hill, Brownsville, Bushwick, Crown Heights, Williamsburg and East New York. Many of the historic brownstone homes and late-1800s architecture contain highly ornamental detailing throughout the interior of the home and have classical architectural elements, such as brackets, finials, and elaborate frieze and cornice banding. A business improvement district has been launched along the Fulton and Nostrand Corridor with a redesigned streetscape to include new trees, street furniture, pavers and signage to attract more business investment in the neighborhood.
