    "I lived in this area for three years. It's super close to Fort Greene Park, which has a great dog park. You can walk your dogs there off-leash before 9:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m., and there are normally 30 to 40 dogs every day. It's a great place if you're a pet owner. "
  • James Taylor
    "What dog owners like about New York like about living in New York is that there are a lot of parts they can walk their dogs "
  • 8snkhnryvb
    "Bad public schools, High School street violence. Dirty parks. ………………………… lots of police on the streets"
  • Paris Murasso
    "Beautiful and leafy area. Perfect for family's and honestly anyone. Many forms of transportation here "
  • Trulia User
    "elections, parks, schools, offices, laundromats, grocery store, supermarket, pharmacy, liquor stores,taxi services, buses, trains, benches, trees, clean sidewalk, "
  • Trulia User
    "I visit 1-2 times per week to go here from the upper east side. takes 45min to an hour. Takes 30 min or so to get to midtown."
  • Trulia User
    "Great for families. Good schools. Beautiful, amazing, best in class park. Living here can feel a bit like being in a bubble. But if you make an effort, the rest of nyc and all its diversity are right outside your door. "
  • Trulia User
    "Well situated near the public transit hub of Atlantic Terminal, this family-friendly neighborhood in Brooklyn is both cultural and communal. "
  • Rebeca M.
    "I Take the subway to midtown. Many lines are available it’s fast and easy. There are also many bus options nearby "
  • Vikrant.pradhan
    "I am not a parent myself but I see families with children enjoy the parks and playgrounds in the area. I would say downtown is family friendly."
  • Lara [. K.
    "Good easy convenient options - can get anywhere pretty much quickly. Many trains but super crowded. "
  • Tory
    "This is a racially diverse community but very economically exclusive. Wealth is necessary and required to sustain a livelihood, if you’re looking for comfort expect to pay for it. On the other hand, the views are beautiful and the neighborhood is well manicured and quiet for the most part. Most of the commotion comes from visitors, tourists, and acting action. Another frequent sound is that of traffic, depending on your location you might catch an earful. If you’re a foodie then you’re in luck! There is plenty to explore that’s culturally diverse and ranges in price. Great for a date or quick bite. "
  • Christopher M.
    "Fort Greene park is amazing. The grass is well maintained, there are two playgrounds, beautiful flowers and tennis courts. Even on weekends it doesn't feel overcrowded. "
  • Sambrol
    "Lots of people out walking dogs at all times. People are generally courteous and give a wide berth, which is nice to see. One downside is that you will be buying your own poop bags. Not many stations with bags, though I think there are some near the waterfront."
  • Adriennezetlin
    "Lots of families and a beloved Trader Joe’s for unique and affordable groceries. Lovely Cobble Hill Park and then the amazing Brooklyn Bridge Park are just a few reasons why families fit in just fine here!"

  • Matt
