Prospect Place?

Hi Guest. I live on that block. In fact, I'm half wondering if you're in contract for the apartment across the hall from us, but anyway...

I really like it. My husband and I moved from Carroll Gardens, a place that is almost eerily quiet if you catch my drift, and I had concerns, too. Yes, there are occasionally boisterous groups of people walking by (weekends) or a car with its stereo on too loud, and there is this one house where a kids plays "Heart and Soul" on the piano about ten times per day but for the most part it's completely fine.

It's the first neighborhood I've lived in since moving to NY where I run into people I know on the street, which is only partly due to this board.

The only real safety concession I've made is that I take off my headphones while I'm walking on Vanderbilt (busy street) and stow my iPod before turning onto Prospect, which has less foot traffic. There have been some iPod muggings/thefts and I think having headphones on makes you less alert.

One of the threads about St. Johns Place is here.

Great block and a great investment. Congratulations.
