    "Maybe a dog park would be useful for dogs to get their energy out before going back to their apartments "

    "Where I’m at you have to take the bus to the station t Coney Island. The waits can be pretty long 10-20min for buses. Luckily there are dollar cabs rolling through regularly. To get to anywhere popular like the city or even Williamsburg takes forever. Definitely don’t recommend living here unless you own a vehicle. Takes about 1.5-2.0 hrs to get to midtown Manhattan using public transportation."

    "Great transportation but everything is far from here. It takes about 30 mins by car or subway on a good day. Lots of public spaces and it’s great in the summer. Extremely cold in the winter. Flooding can happen if you own a home. We are seconds away from the ocean in all directions. "

    "Here are no good places to walk with dogs. Always have plastic bags to clean after your dog. In a case your dog is alergic to weed you better find another neighbourhood to live with your dog."
