bed stuy is brownstone central. I think it's going to get snatched up in pretty short order.

bed stuy & crown heights def already in the gentrification process, let's not kid ourselves. sunset park will take a little longer.

It seems like the neighborhoods most likely to go that route are either formerly rich neighborhoods (nice brownstone housing stock) or industrial neighborhoods (warehouses to convert to lofts or empty, cheap land to build new condos)

proximity to decent transit also matters, like red hook would be much further along than it is now if there were a train, but only a certain type of person is gonna accept really bad commutes. that's another limiting factor.

I'm interested in what will happen in a place like flatbush. pretty decent transit, right by a huge beautiful park, but filled with dense huge elevator buildings, the exact type that seem least suited to rowhouse lovers or loft renovators. also sandwiched in between two ditmas park and prospect lefferts.
