FIRST ANSWER

It is a lovely building and the A train is fast. The local police station, however, advised me not to ever walk there alone after dark, which is early in winter! It is 2 blocks from one project and about 7 from another and there are 5 in the precinct. The police warned against many robberies on Bradhurst from gangs of young kids. Very high crime rate in the area.

It is unfortunate as the area is pretty. A woman walking alone along the park once it is dark, I don't think is a good idea.

Great investment but will you ever leave your apt???????/
