to get the full effect of this, Google maps would have had to have been out in the fukking 80s-90s. Still the changes are very glaring here. I keep telling people that soon youre gonna have to go visit the Bronx like a tourist to see what "old" New York used to look like.

The Bronx as a whole is moving in slow motion with this gentrification ish compared to the rest of the city but it will get here eventually (10 years is a starting point). Just waiting for the CAConizers to show up with their cameras and surveying equipment.

Glad they knocked down those project buildings and replaced them with condos. Neighborhoods look much nicer, I'm considering moving into one of those.

Living next to hoodlums. <<<:mjpls:

People with money/young professionals want to live downtown now...between 2012-2013, about 25% of people moved back into the city (20 yrs ago or so, people were moving to the burbs)

I agree, I used to be from Scarborough but moved out West of Toronto when the neighborhoods were just some nice houses surrounded by dirt road. It started developing, but I moved back to Toronto in that condo area next to the exhibition.

word my boy and his wife live up on tuckahoe road in yonkers and they got a not so big 1 bedroom for 1600. im in the bronx up by kingsbridge and i found a nice building with a 1 bedroom for 1200 but its not a nice neighborhood.
Yeah I don't really mess with Yonkers like that, but as long as you get more inland, you get some nicer homes...especially closer to North Yonkers.

Tuckahoe Road is one thing...but living in Tuckahoe is another. I'd love to live in Tuckahoe if I could afford the homes there. It's very quiet and suburban but like a 25- minute train ride to GC.

Scary...I was just walking around where I first lived here in Bushwick back in 2012 and there's already luxury condos popping up.

Everything is in walking distance down here, that's the good thing about it.

The projects in the Bronx and Harlem is really resisting any type of full on gentrification.

Queens is too tight knit/private ownership.

So I believe unless we see some type of real estate boom the gentrification will just be pushing deeper and deeper into brooklyn. They're banging on on the door of East New York right now.

How much you pay and in whatish area?

I'm thinking of getting into Bushwick. Either that or CH

I live with three other people and I pay $850 a month...TBH our apartment is overpriced (2400 three bedrooms) and the building is riddled with problems. There are more than likely cheaper spots around. On Eldert St. & Irving (where I was today) there's a new one bedroom complex complex that's opening up...no word on prices since it's fairly new.

Crown Heights, I'd live there again in a heartbeat.
