Great, Beautiful neighborhood! Anyone visiting NYC has to take a walk around and see some of the absolutely beautiful brownstones. Never seen anything like it. Neighborhood is safe West of Kingston if you avoid the Park near the museum. East of Kingston its still pretty dangerous at night so beware. Tons of nightlife and fun stuff to do. The 2/3 can be really slow getting into Manhattan so be prepared for that
Crown Heights is made of a truly eclectic group of people; my neighborhood consists primarily of Jews and African American’s. Each denomination has such a rich culture, and it is wonder to witness the intermingling of the two. Crown Heights truly encapsulates all that NY is supposed to be, a melting pot of cultures, a safe space to accept people we may not necessarily understand.
That being said, there people who live this community who do not uphold this doctrine of tolerance, they do not have this level of respect for other’s who may not look like them, and they are the change that our community needs to see

Crown heights is an incredibly historic neighborhood. Crowned as the "Harlem of Brooklyn" CH is, like Harlem, very rich in African American history and culture. It is a good place for young people to live, but make sure you understand your connection to gentrification and attempt to help the community and prevent displacement. For safety, it's say its relatively safe on the west side (next to Prospect Heights), and gradually gets less safe as you travel east. Once you get over to Utica, it's not safe in the slightest, so make sure you know which part you rent in. My favorite part is definitely the beautiful brownstones and architecture, Eastern Parkway is beautiful as well.
