Apt. Hunting - could use your info/insights re: neighborhood

i live right there. There are two laundry mats nearby on Fulton within easy walking distance (one is on Putnam/Fulton, the other up toward Franklin), there is Met on Fulton nearby buy I would suggest Fresh Direct, and delivery is somewhat lacking, although you can get a few things. Graziella's, Mario's, Red Bamboo, Chavella's all deliver, and all are good. If anyone knows any other good delivery, I'd love to know.
All in all, it's a safe area. There are always loud screaming young kids running around really late at night (what's up with that??) and lots of activity on the streets. It gets worse down toward the corner of Classon and Fulton, but you don't need to walk by that to get to the Clinton/Washington stop on the C.

I live on Bedford/Quincy and I take the C to Franklin and walk up, which might be faster than taking C to Clinton/Wash. The Y is great and cheap - it's actually on Monroe and Bedford. The worst thing about the area is the lack of grocery stores. Otherwise, the neighborhood is friendly and very quiet in places.

I live in the area as well. It is quiet for the most part.There is a laundromat on Fulton near Franklin Ave. Aside from the Met grocery store on Fulton and Cambridge Pl, there is a KeyFood on Fulton and Franklin. I live on Gates Ave near Irving and venture over to Pathmark at Atlantic Center or the Foodtown on Fulton and Brooklyn Aves. I like those supermarkets much better.'As for restaurants that deliver, try Hunanwok in parkslope , Buffpatty on Myrtle for caribbeanfood as well as Soulie on Fulton and St James,Jakes BBq on Columbia St delivers to the area as well and you have Papajohns Pizzeria on Fulton and Claver Pl that delivers to satisfy your pizza cravings.Oops, also Yummytummy chinese on Myrtle and Mr Wonton in park slope.But for the nights you dont mind taking a short stroll for a good meal try Locandi Ollie n Vini on Gates and Cambridge, Kush on Grand and Putnam, Choice Markets on Lafayette and Grand and Dakar on Grand and Clifton Pl.You also arent too far from Ft Greene that has an Habana Outpost on Fulton and S Portland Sts as well other restaurants on that strip.If that liquor store would close on Fulton St and Classon that would solve that problem of people hanging around.

i can't stand those kids! I hear them until 1130 at night sometimes. I've called 311 every time I see them, but I'm sure it hasn't had any affect. It has got better lately though, and hopefully, with school coming soon it will end completely.
