Yeap, sorry, gates Avenue. Thx Bcodsnpkslope! If you could be a l'ttle bit more specific... I mean, every single area is not as good as others and as bad as others...

Call the local precinct or look up at nyc.gov and get the statistics! NYPD lives by statistics or the Mayor's Management Report.

Even better that numbers and stats, experience it for yourself. Go walk around, talk to people, check out the block, visit the businesses, eat lunch. The best way to decide if a place is for you is to experience it for yourself.

Yeah, I live pretty close to here (Jefferson btwn Franklin and Bedford) and love the area (bought a 2-fam house in 2009). Gates is a great place to be, but you probably don't want to hang out right on Bedford...
