    "I live here for 7 years. I do like the fact that you are literally close to everything by just a walk away. Also the city is like 15 minutes ride on the L train which is my closest train station. We have a fresh market at MCcarren park every Saturday morning from 8-2pm. Lots of lots of restaurants and coffee shops..🥰"
