Despite it's past reputation, the Bed-Stuy area of Brooklyn has experienced a constant degree of gentrification since the early 2000s and improved greatly in terms of safety and infrastructure. The area is very well-connected to Manhattan and the rest of the city, and rents here will certainly be more affordable. Bed-Stuy has become renowned for its street art, hip cafés and emerging local markets. The area remains incredibly diverse and culturally rich, with students, hipsters, young professionals and others constantly moving to Bed-Stuy.
