Arlington Place, located in the famed Bedford Historic District, is one of the prettiest and smallest of the tree-lined "place" blocks of Bedford Stuyvesant.

The bespoke block is a moment away from the Nostrand A & C trains, which brings you to Lower Manhattan in under 15 minutes. Clinton Hill, Crown Heights, and Prospect Heights are all closeby, along with cafes, restaurants and shopping on Bedford and Franklin Avenues & Brooklyn beyond.
