Bordered by Williamsburg to the North and Clinton Hill to the West, the historic streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant are lined with beautiful, ornate brownstones and townhomes originally built by speculators for the expanding upper middle class from the 1890's to the late 1910's. Originally Dutch farmland, the area was the first major settlement east of the (then) Village of Brooklyn. In 1838, the Weeksville sub-section was recognized as one of the first free African American communities in the United States. Ethnic diversity of the neighborhood has continued throughout its history. Quincy Street and Bed-Stuy gained tremendous exposure as a cultural hotspot when Spike Lee's film "Do The Right Thing" was shot on Stuyvesant Avenue between Lexington Avenue and Quincy Street. The movie that exposed the grit and glamour of Bed-Stuy's architecture in endless summer heat was nominated for two Oscars including best original screenplay.

Beginning in the 2000's, the neighborhood began to experience gentrification, which continues today. The forces influencing this have been the gorgeous row houses on quiet tree-lined streets and the marked decrease of crime. New retailers include galleries, mid-century collector furniture, clothing stores, flower shops, bakeries, cafes, and world-class restaurants. The intellectual and artistic bounties of Pratt Institute infuse Bed-Stuy with a special vibe that continues to inform it. Through its evolution, in "wallscapes" and references to its past in commercial development, significant community members continue to be honored, creating embedded character that has escaped many of New York City's gentrified areas. A diverse mix of artists, creative professionals, hipsters, students, architects, and attorneys of all races and walks of life continue to move to the neighborhood in droves.
