Safe area in Brooklyn? Please help.

johnj42 — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:29:17 +0000

I'm looking at a place to live for the summer near the intersection of E. 21st and Ditmas Ave in Brooklyn. I haven't read many great things about the area but that was from 4 years ago. Is that area dangerous/disgusting? Please let me know because I have to make a decision soon.

Lincoln Road and Flatbush... What is coming soon?

iadorefilms — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 00:18:33 +0000

Hi y'all! The old vacated mini mart has recently been boarded up and lots of commotions have been going on inside. Anyone have any insider details or gossip of what is to come? I'm kind of hoping for a cafe/bakery since it is on my (and of course others) way to the subway station.

Beverley Square East/West boundaries?

I'm interested as well but have no idea...

Beverley Square East/West boundaries?

lmb — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 02:08:03 +0000

I found this for Beverley Square West: <blockquote>The said territory known as Beverley Square West is bounded and described as follows: Beginning at the intersection of Beverley Road and Marlborough Road, running southerly along Marlborough Road, including both the easterly and westerly sides of Marlborough Road; running thence westerly along Cortelyou Road, including only the northerly side of Cortelyou Road, to Stratford Road; running northerly along Stratford Road, including both the easterly and the westerly sides of Stratford Road, to Beverley Road; running thence easterly along Beverley Road, including only the southerly side of Beverley Road, to the point of beginning. The territory shall also include the northerly and southerly sides of Slocum Place, Matthews Court and Lewis Place.</blockquote> (from: <a href="http://www.neighborhoodlink.com/Beverley_Square_West/info)" rel="nofollow">http://www.neighborhoodlink.com/Beverley_Square_West/info)</a> But I can't find anything about Beverley Square East, at least not that correlates to what I pasted above. There's this: <a href="http://www.cb14brooklyn.com/our-neighborhood/beverely-square-east-and-west/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cb14brooklyn.com/our-neighborhood/beverely-square-east-and-west/</a> but that has different boundaries for BSW, so I don't know which to believe, and I can't find anything to back it up. The first link seems legit, something like a legal document or something, so I'm more inclined to go with that. Anyone know the actual boundaries? Or even if they're not the "official" boundaries, at least the boundaries according to people who actually live there? (I know this is random. It's for one of my geeky projects.)

Lenox Rd between Nostrand Ave & New York Ave - Safe?

Thank you so much for your thoughts!

Lenox Rd between Nostrand Ave & New York Ave - Safe?

flatbushplgplanet — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:30:31 +0000

Nostrand & Lennox Road? Flatbush or PLG is basically just working class families; the neighborhood is multicultural and welcoming. I am a white woman who has lived nearby for 15+ years. People help each other out, say hello and there is a general feeling of being a part of a larger community. I love it here. What size apt are you looking for? Price range? I know of a few that are closer to transportation and Prospect Park. Good Luck in any event. It is never easy shopping for a new place.

You will be just fine. Believe it or not most black people don't want to attack whites or any other ethnicity. Most are just going on about their lives trying to make a living. You will be fine if you use common sense.

Lenox Rd between Nostrand Ave & New York Ave - Safe?

brooklynmaman — Tue, 01 May 2012 21:43:11 +0000

hi there, I live on the next corner (Linden/Nostrand). I don't go out very late but feel safe when i come back around 12-1 am. The walk from the subway is short and Nostrand av is always full of people. I never tried Lenox at night - I think it is a bit dark and quiet during the night since it's only residential. I'm often the only white women in the subway but never feel unsafe or out of place. People are nice - lots of local stores. I just avoid being around during the Jouvert Festival (Labor day weekend) good luck ;_)

Lenox Rd between Nostrand Ave & New York Ave - Safe?

newinbrooklyn — Tue, 01 May 2012 14:33:14 +0000

I am looking for a new apartment and found a place in Lenox Rd between Nostrand Ave, but I am wasn't sure if it would be safe for me to walk at night. I am an Asian female in 20s & did feel a bit out of place walking around in the area during the day, but it also was my first time in Flatbush. Any input will be helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for the responses! Keep 'em coming!

Outside the arena, some locals will sell bootleg t-shirts to the crowds. They will play cat and mouse with the police. I also expect one of our local grocery cart pushers to get dibs on recycling the cans left in the parking lot. Those guys know all the supers on my block.
