Crown heights is a bustling hipster paradise with almost everything to eat. I live on Franklin avenue and I can literally eat anything I want at any time. I live in walking distance from a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant, two sushi restaurants,an all-vegan restaurant, about four Indian Cuisine restaurant and 2 Burrito and Latino Cuisine restaurants. It's amazing!
I love Crown Heights! The neighborhood is constantly improving and is great for growing local businesses. Plenty of parks provide the perfect space for community gatherings, and I would like to see the local neighborhood council organize more community events.
I've lived in Crown Heights for the last 5 years and I've only had good experiences. Being one of the gentrified neighborhoods, it was easy for me to move in as rent was affordable. I lived right next to Franklin Ave, which has all the restaurants and bars. I was also only a 15-20 minute walk away from the Museum, Botanical Gardens, Public Library and Prospect Park. I had to to move further away because rent got really high in that part of Crown Heights. However, I managed to find a lovely apartment within a block away from the subway, so commuting to work only took about 30-40 minutes on the express train. Over the years, I've seen more grocery stores open up with a wider range of options that the local bodega. If you are a recent college grad or someone in your late 20s/early 30s, I would definitely recommend that you move to Crown Heights!
