The recent Bedford-Stuyvesant building boom has made its way to 511 Lafayette Avenue. A sleek four-story condominium has risen where a dilapidated brick house once stood, and sales have launched on the apartments within. Privacy is assured with no more than two apartments per floor, and a 20-year 421a tax abatement is pending.

Roof deck

Amenities include a roof deck, common garden, and storage, but the building’s greatest perk is its location in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant: Herbert von King Park and several playgrounds and gardens are a short walk away, as are local favorites Black Swan, Sugarhill, Fancy Nancy, Captain Dan's "Good Time" Tavern, and Dough. Having the Bedford-Nostrand Aves. subway station on the corner gets a commute off to an easy start.
