I love living in Park Slope! It's very friendly, great for kids and adults alike, there's lots going on and the architecture is beautiful. The proximity to Prospect Park on one side and the breweries of Gowanus on the other doesn't hurt either. By the standards of the more expensive New York neighborhoods I think its a pretty down to earth and relaxed place, though others may disagree and that does depend on where exactly you live in the area.
Park Slope is beautiful! The houses are pretty, the people are kind albeit a little entitled, and the food is good. There are a myriad of playgrounds and cafes, making it what is generally considered a "mommy's haven." The primary issues with the neighborhood are a function of its predominantly white residency. There is little to no diversity, everything is expensive, and there is an elitist culture.
Park Slope is a great neighborhood for families and singles alike. Lots of resources. There are public schools as well as private schools. There are several main avenues with many markets (large and small), cafes, bars, restaurants, bookshops, salons, pharmacies, card shops, and bike shops, just to name a few. Park Slope is aptly named because it is just down from Prospect Park. Prospect Park is a great bit of nature right in the middle of Brooklyn. There are bike and running paths. There are a zoo and a carousel for the kiddos. There is also a lake in the park and you can rent rowboats during the summer. You can even go horse riding in the park.
