I live near there and sometimes hear gunshots at night. </p> <p>I am sure if you went for it, there are ways to keep yourself safe. There's a lot of great stuff in the neighborhood, like the 24 hour markets on Church, quick access to the city, close to Prospect Park, etc. </p> <p>But know that it's not the safest area and you'll need to be mindful coming home at night and such. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/flatbush-midwood-ditmas-park/18th-between-ablemarle-beverly#post-754155 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:58:50 +0000 LaddHalsey 754155@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Hi, I'm thinking of buying a coop in Prospect Park South, specifically between Ablemarle and Beverly. I've been to the neighborhood at various times of day and get a different vibe each time. This particular block does feel really walled in which lends it a Bronx-esque claustrophobia and general tough association. I'm a professional lady in her 30s who has lived in Greenpoint for the last 10 years so I am unaccustomed to it, but I love the markets on Church, the apartment I am considering is pretty and the transit options are pretty sweet too. Any thoughts on this pocket of PPS and it's safety? </p>
