Great proximity to public transportation, libraries and the Prospect Park. For food lovers more and more restaurants are opening up with a 1 mile radius of the neighborhood. I love it here. "

    "This area is great for cheap rent but that is where the pros end. Not a lot of options for grocery stores or restaurants. Area is not the safest or the cleanest. School district among the lowest of the city. Would not recommend for a family. Maybe for a single person or a couple who wants to save money on rent for a few years before moving to someplace better."
