Crown Heights is perfectly located in central Brooklyn and that's why I love it so much. You don't need to leave the neighborhood because it has everything you need within walking distance but in the event you do need to leave it's not far from places you want to go to. Only 25 min walk to Prospect Park, BAM and Brooklyn Library. I love riding my bike down Eastern Parkway leisurely while I listen to my music from my JBL pill in my bike basket. The food options in Crown Heights are superb with Caribbean being my top favorite cuisine to indulge in. While Bed Stuy is known for it's brownstones there are some picturesque quiet streets throughout Crown Heights that I enjoy strolling through on a warm fall day. Barclays center to watch the Nets is just a 15 minute B65 bus ride west which I've done on occasion and highly recommend. Banks, grocery stores, parks are close. Overall I'm so happy to be living in Crown Heights and hope to stay here for the rest of my time in Brooklyn.
If your looking for a place to live in Brooklyn definitely consider Crown Heights! The neighborhood is up-and-coming with tons of incredible places to eat a lively night-life which means you don't have to commute into Manhattan for a good time. It's affordable (at least compared to the rest of new york) housing has attracted a nice community of young professionals and families, in addition to the locals. Depending on where you are, you are only a short walk away from Eastern Parkway, the Brooklyn Museum, and Prospect Park. And if that's not enough, lower Manhattan is only a 30 minutes away on the train!
Great, diverse neighborhood! Good & affordable restaurants, bars etc. Close to Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden, Prospect Park & more. I wouldn't change a thing :)
