NYC’s legendary borough of Brooklyn is comprised of a staggering 77 neighborhoods. And Bedford — the first half of what we locals call “Bed-Stuy” (aka Bedford-Stuyvesant) — is one of its most famous.
Nestled in Brooklyn’s north, Bedford covers less than 3 sq miles. But despite its relatively small size, it’s a top destination for millions of people.
With one of our offices in nearby DUMBO, Oz specializes in both local moving and long-distance moving and storage these days. But while our trucks cover thousands of sq miles daily, places like Bed-Stuy will always be home turf. And we will always be NYC- and Brooklyn movers first and foremost.
As such, we’re sure to make your Bedford moving experience as smooth as possible — whether it’s supplies, packing, or full-service move and storage services. So reach out online, get a free quote, or just stop by if you’re in the hood.
And now, here are some pointers on our beloved Bedford.
Bedford-Stuyvesant has a rich history. For instance, it’s home to the largest collection of intact Victorian architecture in the country. It was a hub for the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. And it’s been home to celebrities like Walt Whitman, Biggie Smalls, Jay Z, Spike Lee, and Chris Rock. Since the early 2000s, it has undergone numerous changes, becoming increasingly gentrified. But it’s always retained its unparalleled, authentically BK character.
Some 300,000 Brooklynites call Bedford home. Among them — hipsters, artists, doctors, lawyers, actors, students, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and so on. In fact, Bed-Stuy residents are the quintessential New Yorker — people of every imaginable background, race, creed, and lifestyle.
But while Bedford does have its fair share of families and retirees, it’s mostly popular among young working professionals these days.
Due to gentrification, real estate demand, and its growing global appeal, the cost of living is among the highest in the country. To live here somewhat comfortably, you’ll need at least $1,500/month (that’s before rent).
The average monthly rent for a one-bedroom, meanwhile, is upwards of $2,500. And if you want one of those historical Victorian brownstones — you’ll need a few million at least.
And Bedford delivers plenty of bang for its buck. There’s first-class shopping, dining, and wining around every corner. There’s the green of Fulton and Herbert Von King parks. There’s history and culture at the Museum of African Art and the Bishop Gallery.
And there’s breathtaking architecture, art (including the infamous Biggie Smalls mural), and dozens of cultural and community centers buzzing with life all year round. So hop on the G train (to Bedford-Nostrand Avs) and discover Bedford’s magic for yourself!
