Brooklyn is awesome. It has slowly become the center of New York, boasting impressive amounts of things to do, stores to shop at, sights to see.
I have lived in Brooklyn since June 2021, following a 4 year stint in Queens. I live near prospect park and it is lovely. All you need can be found on literally every street. The subways are convenient, it is safe, great neighbors and peaceful. I would highly consider Brooklyn!
Love being here we have lots of culture and easy access to whatever you need, however, cost of living is high and rising.
Brooklyn is one of the most adventurous places to live, with a diverse community and many things to explore. If you’re in to the city, Greek inspired architecture and brownstone Brooklyn is the place for you. I been living in Brooklyn for a long time I can never get sick of it’s beauty and up coming areas with little local shops and stores and the amazing choices in food there’s many hidden gems in Brooklyn not hard to find. Come to Brooklyn Ny and see what you will find living here.
I’m 25 years old, and I grew up in Brooklyn. I’ve come to cherish the familiarity of my corner stores and peaceful moments in my parks. Though you will find that NYC is a vibrant atmosphere, with numerous festivals, parades, and even late-night hangout spots with friends. However, it’s worth noting that the cost of living here can be quite high. One my favorite pastimes is visiting Prospect Park, where I enjoy biking and leisurely walks with my dog. I’m always struck by the graffiti, the diverse people, and the iconic skyscrapers that feel artsy and contemporary. When venture into less urban areas, they often appear somewhat outdated in comparison.
I am a born and raised brooklynite. It is all I have ever known and holds nearly everyone i love and know. People may dislike how crowded it is and the traffic, but that is from people from New Jersey and Long Island who are not used to it and were not raised around it. To them the people that make up the masses are strange and strangers, but to me they are family. When I leave Brooklyn and am around all of the suburbs that others may find homey, the planning of those communites wishes they were Brooklyn. They require cars to allow people to go to each of the seperate parts of the town, never avoiding taking a highway. Everything must be accessible to a highway and parking is required to take up unusable space. But in brooklyn space is valuable even if it is not valued. I suppose i wish it was easier to like to the outsider and a little cheaper.
My life's journey started in Brooklyn. It is my anchor and roots that has brought me up to be the brave and resilient young woman that I am today.
Brooklyn is one of the most accessible boroughs in New York and it has many places of exploration and versatile cultures. Traveling around is rather easy and Brooklyn is multi faceted. Some places have more of a city atmosphere and some a more residential feel.
Even though there were some issues with all the noise and the garbage that used to gather behind blocks, Brooklyn is still,to this day , my top 10 favorite places to go from time to time, because of it's welcoming residents
What I love the most about Brooklyn is how transportation is so easy. There is always a bus stop or a train station near you !. Brooklyn has a lot of parks too , if you don't feel like staying at home all the time and want to relax , have picnic with friends and family then this is the place to be!. My neighborhood is really quiet and I feel really safe. If there's one thing I'd like to see change, it's to have cleaner streets and a special place to put our garbage cans because in front of our building like that it's not too nice to see (the smell and the pests )!.
I have lived in Brooklyn for 29 years, 27 years in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and 2 years in Bensonhurst. I have seen the changes my neighborhood has gone through, both for the better and not so much. I would wish to live in Brooklyn for the rest of my life and own a home but with gentrification and increased housing costs that dream dies a bit more every day. However, I love Brooklyn and everything it comes with and would not trade it for the world.
Brooklyn is very diverse, therefore you are exposed to many different cultures. Only disappointing is the rising crime rate.
Brooklyn is an extraordinary borough that captivates with its vibrant energy, diverse culture, and countless attractions. As a resident, I can confidently say that living in Brooklyn has been an enriching and delightful experience.
I am born and raised in the diverse neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Now, I do not mean diverse as in different ethnicity would be eager or proactive to search out different ethnicity, but diverse in the fact that there is a large variety of different ethnicity. People of the same race, culture, or ethnicity tend to not just spend time together, but also rather live close together. Thus, we have clusters of same-ethnicity groups next to each other, but rarely fusing or mingling. I would love to see more proactiveness to introduce different cultures together to the point that houses in the same block wouldn't just have 1-2 ethnicity groups, but true and full immersion in diversity in Brooklyn.
I love living in Brooklyn. I currently reside in Dyker Heights and I have never often had a problem with my neighborhood being noisy or dangerous. In Brooklyn you can find some close-knit communities, which means there are so many places to choose to reside in. People from Brooklyn are some of the nicest and most understanding people you can meet. It won't take long before you make friends with people in your neighborhood.
Brooklyn is full of rowdy people and I think the government needs to make more of an effort to help people living in bad quality apartments
The main reason I like Brooklyn is because of how close everything is. This indicates that you don't have to know how to drive a car or even own a car, to get to where you need to be due to the various public transportation options, such as the bus or the subway. Not to mention, just being able to walk to most of the places. However, one thing that I would like to see change is for streets to be a little bit cleaner.
