Bed-Stuy living

howard.m.burgers

Good eve. I'm a recent law school grad who'll be working in ny this summer at a firm in battery park. I looking to live in bk but don't want to pay out the nose and i'd like stay in a neighborhood with both a neighborhood feel and a lot of culture.

i lived in park slope last summer and it was a little too young couple for me. i've heard mixed things about bed-stuy. some say it's fine, others say it's too hood. I'm not too worried about that, I'm from CO but i've lived all over and think for the most part, i can handle myself cool.

What's the scoop on bed-stuy? pros, cons? particular parts that are cool, particular parts that are not?

any help is appreciated.
