      Husband and I are thinking about moving to Windsor Terrace from Park Slope this June-

      Any thoughts, opinions, positive and negative?

      How is the neighborhood? What is there to do? Eat? Shop?

      Any input would be greatly appreciated!

      PS How is the F train?

      ************************************

      It's an excellent neighborhood and a great place if you have children , the shopping on Prospect Park West offers every thing to fill your needs, there are 24 hour grocery and fruit stores, also a bagel store, diner, two italian restaurants ,dry cleaners, shoe store, laundromat,card shop, candy stores, Doctors,and a Optometrist.

      I use the F train on off hours, but have heard it's somewhat crowed in at am.

      When you have the time I recommend you walk around the area and see for yourself.

      Thank you so much for answering-

      We are still hesitating, as we just moved to PS last June and now have to move again- We had just gotten used to PS, and now here we go again!

      Windsor Terrace is not "the hood." It's actually a very lovely neighborhood. Being that you're in PS and WT is right next door, it shouldn't be much of a strech to walk the few blocks down to see for yourself.

      The Hood refers to any and all neighborhoods-

      Its short for neighborhood

      I know what WT is, thanks very much-

      So funny, I actually do know what the hood refers to!

      When you post about moving the "the hood" it usually implies (at least in this forum I have found), you know, the Hood. But if you're inquiring about the Nabe (short for neighborhood), then you may want to use that instead.

      I really only tell you this because people may get offended if you're calling their "nabe" the "hood."

      It's semantics.

      where to exactly? answering that helps a lot in terms of telling you what's nearby. hamilton has got PPW covered. there is a key food on prospect ave & 11th ave.

      i use the 15th st. station (F) every day. pleasant, relatively clean. i also usually get a seat on the train in the mornings (i leave at 7:15), as it always packs on the peeps at next 7th Ave. station.

      there are other places worth mentioning, too, but again, it helps if i knows where you gonna plant yourself
