    "It’s not too trendy but has all the amenities you’d want in a Brooklyn neighborhood like shops and restaurants and dry cleaners. Feels very “neighborhoods” and I know several of my neighbors. We deliver each other’s packages and watch each other’s cats when we go on vacation. Things like that. Also feels pretty safe. "
