Our shared student house is located in Bedford–Stuyvesant, also known as Bed-Stuy for short. It is a neighborhood of 153,000 inhabitants in the north central portion of Brooklyn. Recently, the neighborhood has seen substantial change as young professionals and artists are moving in and new restaurants, bars and businesses crop up to cater to them. You can find a selection of stores, bars and restaurants on avenues such as Lewis, Bedford and Marcus Garvey. It's a diverse neighborhood, with tons of commercial activity and residents of all ages and ethnicities. You can spend a sunny afternoon or fall evening relaxing in Fulton park, or take a stroll through the Bed-Stuy historic district, which comprises several blocks of beautiful old brownstone houses. The area has one of the largest amounts of original Victorian architecture in the country. With over 6,000 buildings built before 1913, it is a unique and historically close-knit neighborhood in the heart of Brooklyn, with some inimitable tree-lined streets, and abundant architectural and economic history. All of this is just 25- 35 minutes to Manhattan by subway.

This shared house is located in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, a charming area in southeast Brooklyn that gets its name from the combination of three nearby locations: Prospect Park, Lefferts Manor and Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It's a small and quiet neighbourhood of just under 100,000 inhabitants, and it's located within walking distance to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum. The best part of staying in Lefferts Gardens is undoubtedly its proximity to the beautiful Prospect Park - it's only 2 blocks away! Enjoy it on a hot summer day, watch the amazing colours in fall, and stroll through the park in the snowy winter. The house is a 3-bedroom/1-bathroom apartment with an modern kitchen, a spacious living room and big bay windows. It's just 30 minutes away from Manhattan by direct subway.
