    "Rules to living in East Flatbush; 1) Learn the Alternate Side Parking Rules, 2) If you don’t find parking on the street by 5PM, then you’ll have to look 5AM, 3) There’s a lot of working families that are predominantly immigrants so respect everyone’s culture, and 4) Get used to house parties and loud music on the weekends, and especially around Labor Day Weekend."

    "Great commute to the city. Not far from buses and train stations. I commute daily from east Flatbush to lower Manhattan on a daily basis to go back and forth from work to home. My children also commute back and forth on the trains and buses to get to school, activities and even on the weekends to spend time with tripwire families. "

    "Brownsville/East New York is Changing for the better!!! Buyers are now realizing that you can buy a big, beautiful older home, usually with parking, driveway/garage and still be close to the 3/4 train for easy access to north Brooklyn or Manhattan. Many of the homes also have balconies, rare finds in Brooklyn. I live in Manhattan for years and decided to buy a home here. I highly recommend looking in Brownsville/ENY area. "
