First, that’s not a McMansion. It’s a cape with an attached garage.
Second, Wyandanch will NEVER gentrify, despite all efforts.
Ha. You will eat those words my friend......... It doesn't need business investment. It needs immigrants who are willing to buy in and achieve and turn the school district around. That CAN happen and when it does the home prices will skyrocket. I have seen it happen in areas I would have never DREAMED would be expensive.
Brooklyn is a BIG place. Lol. My uncle bought 2 brownstones back in the 80s for chump change. In bed Stuy Brooklyn. Sold both last year to the hasidm for 4 million............ Nothing stays the same forever..

Well, I live in Ridgewood. So when I think Brooklyn, I typically think Bushwick, Stuyvesant, Brownsville and ENY. Never in a million years would I have thought people would be moving into these neighborhoods the way they are today. Even Ridgewood I thought was going to go completely downhill. You just never know.

Yep. That's how it started in Bushwick and Bed-Stuy too. An influx of immigrants first paved the way. And they did open up businesses.

They’ve been saying this for years about Wyandanch and nothing has changed. It’s still a crap hole. Wyandanch Rising has had no impact on anything. Housing in the area is still dilapidated and the streets at night are unsafe.
But sure, I’ll eat those words. Make sure you bump this thread when it does.
The city is a different animal than LI. Very rarely, if ever at all do the lower quality areas turn into desirable ones. Just the way it is.
I would have loved to have heard you say this same exact statement in the '90s while standing on any street corner on Myrtle Ave. And no neighborhood in Suffolk or Nassau had anything on this part of Brooklyn in terms of deterioration. Wyandanch is a cakewalk compared to what Bushwick once was.
I love the comparison of Wyandanch and Brooklyn. LOL
You know deep down what Brooklyn had going for it? Proximity to NYC and to the water.
You know what Wyandanch has going for it? NOTHING. Its a crappy land locked area smack in the middle of the island that's too far east to be interesting. What would be the driving force to gentrify this area? Why would anyone want to live here over dozens of other already nicer areas on Long Island? They wouldn't.
"Come to glorious Wyandanch where you can raise your family in a brand new million dollar home of your dreams!" is something you will never read.

Bushwick and Bed-Stuy are nowhere near the water. And even today their streets are still rougher than anywhere else on Long Island, yet they are still marketable. Nobody thought these neighborhoods would be fetching the real estate prices they are getting today a couple decades ago. Nobody.
Maybe we compare to Mastic Beach and Shirley then if gentrifiers need waterfront so badly.
