Read SuperMario's post on the first page of this thread. He listed a few neighborhoods that were doomed to be purgatory ghettos forever. Half of them have since gentrified. You can look at his list for Bronx and see which ones are still affordable for purchasing.

He was spot on with good neighborhoods to invest in (based on which ones he bashed) and he didn't even know it!
If you take a contrarian stance against city data posters, especially if they are so called natives you’ll do well off.

Admit what? All I stated was a fact. I don't think I ever took part in this thread prior.

It's also a fact Bedstuy 7 years ago was a safe investment.

I never said it wasn't.

I never said it wasn't. Then again, you could have said the same for many Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods. Returns have been good across the board.

If OP bought in Stuyvesant back then, and has since got married and had a kid of two, I'd be curious to know what convenient school options they have. My guess private school in Williamsburg. There might be a Catholic school in Fort Greene.

With the equity that he’s gained in his house since 2010 I’d say that his options are unlimited.

They built a new private school in Bedstuy that's quite popular, and presumably a more will be built as the neighborhood changes demographics.

I could be wrong, but I don't think people are tapping home equity to fund things, like private school.
