BSW Background
Beverley Square West neighbors representing at the Landmarks Preservation Commission, October 2025.
BSW is an association that brings together neighbors between Marlborough and Stratford, including Slocum Place, Lewis Place, and Matthews Court, from Cortelyou Road to Beverley Road. We focus on building community through meetings and events and sharing news relevant to our community. We are not a political organization but help connect neighbors to local elected officials to learn about their priorities and voice our concern.
BSW holds several member meetings per year, often with special speakers, and sponsors popular community activities such as a Progressive Dinner and a Garden Ramble. Members also receive a periodic newsletter and timely association updates. Membership dues are $50 per year. Please contact info@beverleysquarewest.org for information and to join.
