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 has recently become overpopulated with the rapid growth of high rise construction, making the area very difficult to maintain normal standards of living, if you are lucky enough to be a homeowner here. It is hard to find parking, and the city continues to overlook the needs of existing homeowners in order to feed into the Real Estate business and constuction continuum. Narrow sidewalks are frustating to navigate and are not growing at the same rate as pedestrian traffic. Instead, streets are riddled with unsafe bike lanes that put the safety of kids, adults and seniors in serious jeopardy. However, on the flip side of this, Park Slope public schools are among the best in the state, especially in District 15. There are plenty of activities for families to enjoy and Prospect Park boasts many activities for many different age groups. Restaurants are highly rated and the wide variety of dining options make it the perfect place to come home to.
Living in Park slope has surrounded me by its relaxing atmosphere, but I an able to expose myself and be accepting to other cultures do to my curiosity of how others live their life. I love traveling due to it exposing their cultures and me to different people. The area as well as the way people carry themselves and speak gives me new perspective of other lifestyles. I have also gotten more in more tuned to the way people act around me, as well as how people respond to each other. Also love reading plays that are in different time periods because it is so interesting to learn about the mannerisms and traditions of the past.
