Bay ridge is a lovely foot traffic gem of brooklyn. With low crime, low rent, great schools, loads of food options, and plenty of green space Bay ridge is home to everyone. The great thing about the neighborhood is the public transportation. The life line of bayridge is the R train going down 4th avenue. Both 3rd and 5th avenue are both epicenters of business and activity which makes the train convenient. Bay ridges long strip of parks along the bay allows for a peace of calm, i remember several picnics and good times with friends over the years here. The best thing about bay ridge is that it hasnt lost it sense of Brooklyn community. Everyone looks out for everyone on my block, i dont have to worry about my packages being stolen!
I was born and raised here. Attended public school until HS where I went to Fontbonne Hall Academy. I'm a cashier in Bagel Boy, a local hotspot. It feels like a small town within a cultural hub of NYC. My building is the best community I know. Everyone is so nice and we feel like a family. I babysat some of their children since they were infants. Great variety of food as well! Love it here.
Bayridge is a small community where safety and family friendliness is a priority. Everyone is close and share many similarities. Many animal lovers, including me, would have lively conversations between walks and picnics in the Owls Head park. Everything is accessible by public transportation such as bus, train, bike, or a simple few-minute walk.5th avenue contains a wide diverse variety of food and other places. Experiences with Bayridge have always been unique and exciting, especially when Bayridge holds a stroll where they close the streets and all the restaurants and other businesses go outside and eat. Kids run around and have fun, and the whole community comes together.
