Bedford-Stuyvesant might not have a very good track record as compared to other neighborhoods in New York City, but if you really want to find a place where rent is cheap and amenities still abound, this is an ideal. There are 20 schools and public transits, so there is no need to venture too far out of the area. Not only that, as libraries, parks, grocery shops, and restaurants come aplenty in here as well.
