HOME0001’s new Bed-Stuy building offers one and two-bedroom apartments with a communal roof deck.

Originally settled by the Dutch in the 17th century, Bed-Stuy formed as a combination of the hamlets of Bedford (named after a market village in England) and Stuyvesant Heights (named after Peter Stuyvesant, the last Governor of the Colony of New Netherland). Bed-Stuy evolved into a more densely residential neighborhood through the 19th and early 20th centuries and, in the mid-20th century, became a cultural and political home for New York’s Black communities and a hub for civil rights activism. From jazz to hip-hop, Bed-Stuy has been a hotbed for music since the 1910s.
