    "not safe to be out after late hours or late walks in this area. Housing projects make it very unsafe for anyone to be around and cops don’t regulate it "

    "Pied a terre since 2020 ground floor studio in a mediocre building with a great private backyard garden. Great places to walk, east river, Beekman Place, convenient to everything in midtown. Side streets are mostly quiet and tree lined. Reasonable rents in B properties near luxury buildings. Not cheap but you don’t need to be rich to live here. "
