Brooklyn brownstone neighborhood rooted in Black history
Brooklyn’s most populous neighborhood, Bedford–Stuyvesant, also known as Bed-Stuy, incorporates a vast residential area and includes subsections like the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District. Blocks of oversized Italianate and Romanesque Revival townhomes set the stage for a vibrant Black community that has had an outsized influence on contemporary culture. Though impacted by economic decline and discriminatory housing practices in the second half of the 20th century, Bed-Stuy has re-emerged in recent decades. Today, the neighborhood is also popular with young families and creative professionals from around the world. They benefit from the area's tranquility and relative proximity to Manhattan. A wide selection of trendy restaurants and bars reflect the neighborhood’s growing diversity but also hold true to its deeply entrenched Black heritage.
