Beautiful neighborhood! Very diverse, lots of restaurants, cafes and shops. Super easy access to Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn. Great subway access - 2, 3, D, A, C and G in less than 10 mins. Very diverse and accepting :)

Tree-lined streets, easygoing restaurants, attractive bars, close commute to Manhattan and friendly, creative people. Singles to young families are prevalent with many long-term residents as owners.
Beautiful neighborhood with a strong sense of community. The proximity to downtown Brooklyn and the accessibility to Manhattan makes this area an amazing place to live. As well as being in a nice area, it is very safe, full of kind people and is a beautiful, quiet part of Brooklyn that is surprising for how close it is to Downtown.
