It's a convenient location for commuting to the city, with four subway lines available, and for families it's home to the Brooklyn Children's museum.

Carol:

Crime rate in New York as a whole has dropped significantly. A huge presence of police officers on the streets have helped detour and decrease crime. Brooklyn has been a beneficiary. See information on Crown Heights:

Resale value is driven by location, location, location! In addition, demand for a particular area plays a major role. Crown Heights is approximately 2 miles wide and deep. Where you choose to position yourself in the neighborhood, will determine your resale value.
