Why the Owner Chose Brooklyn
I chose to move out of Manhattan and into Stuyvesant Heights because I love everything the city has to offer...but I don't need to be enveloped in it 24/7. I see living in Brooklyn as the halfway point between urban and suburban, in that you are less than 15 minutes from downtown Manhattan, yet at the same time you can enjoy quiet times in which all you hear are birds singing and leaves rustling.
The Unique Benefits at this Brownstone Townhouse
I love this Apartment. It is bright and sunny, spacious and warm. It has a lovely view of gardens from the rear, and beautiful Brownstones and tall trees in the front. The block is quiet, and we are around the corner from the newest and best local shops and eateries, including an authentic brick-oven pizzeria, a coffee house, an art gallery, a bookseller, clothing boutiques, bars, restaurants, a library, and much more. We're a 5-minute, beautiful walk from the train which gets you into Manhattan in less than 15 minutes. Hands down, this is one of the best values in the city, and gives you the chance to see how real New Yorkers live!
This recently renovated 90-year-old library is the jewel of the neighborhood. Book signings, free film screenings, and story time for kids are just a few of their offerings.
This hot new pizzeria is the talk of the neighborhood. Opened by locals originally from Rimini, this rustic spot will give you an authentic brick-oven pizza experience that you won't soon forget.
This "Old School" diner serves breakfast, lunch & dinner all day. Very inexpensive.
Looking to find new talent? Stop in and take a look at their constantly evolving collection.
Everyone -- everyone -- loves Peaches. BBQ, fish, brunch, full bar...a visit to Stuyvesant Heights isn't complete without at least one meal here.
Bread Stuy is the local coffee house / bakery / social hub of the neighborhood. Chess tournaments, art classes for kids, poetry events, free films...they've got something for everybody!
Brooklyn doesn't get any more culturally relevant than this place right here. Workshops, readings, teen poetry, story time...anyone seriously interested in putting their fingers on the pulse of Brookl
The "A" gets you into downtown Manhattan in around 12 minutes.
There are often free cultural events in Fulton Park, including the KIDflix Film Fest of Bed-Stuy!, Art in the Park, Dancing Under The Stars, and much more.
Owner's Map of Brooklyn
My name is TRUE, I am a native Californian, but I was drawn to New York City for its vibrant culture in 1991. I escaped the hustle & bustle of Manhattan in 1999, and have been living in the MACON MANOR since then. I live in the Home with my girlfriend and our twin 5-year-olds.
