Living in Bedford-Stuyvesant
Brooklyn's largest brownstone neighborhood
Bedford-Stuyvesant covers a wide area of north-central Brooklyn, and its streets hold one of the country's largest concentrations of intact 19th-century row houses: brownstone, limestone and brick, many with original stoops, cornices and woodwork.
Stuyvesant Heights, Bedford Corners and the blocks around Herbert Von King Park are protected historic districts. Tompkins, Lewis and Nostrand Avenues and Fulton Street bring cafés, restaurants and shops.
The Compass Bedford-Stuyvesant office is at 1320 Fulton Street.
