About DUMBO

Commonly referred to as ‘Bed-Stuy’, Bedford Stuyvesant is known for its historic brownstones, tree-lined streets, and one-of-a-kind character. Despite serving as one of the largest neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Bed-Stuy offers a unique small-town feel to its residents and visitors. The neighborhood is home to nearly 9,000 buildings that were built before 1900 and most have remained largely unchanged, making walking through the streets of Bed-Stuy a visual experience. Today, Bedford Stuyvesant is home to many artists, musicians, actors, and longtime residents. While condos and newly built residential units have recently sprouted up in the northwest section of the area, the Stuyvesant Historic District has helped to preserve the traditional charm of the neighborhood.
