Is it better to live right by the train (like, across the street) or further into to flatbush or further up or down Ocean?
I've been warned away from Church but was told Parkside was a little less struggling, though also was told Prospect Park was even more gentrified than Parkside.
Ideally we'd be close to the city, not hear gunshots when going to bed, get mugged, witness murders, etc. and have a 2+ bedroom for 1600 or less without roaches, mice, or bedbugs. This is apparently a huge challenge in Brooklyn. It is very depressing.
I LOVE the Cortelyou area, I wonder if folks can recommend good blocks in that area that are more affordable, perhaps on Ocean?

A friend of mine lived on Ocean and Avenue K which was better.

I live at 415 Stratford, between Cortelyou and Dorchester. The buiding is very well kept; 1 bdrm's go for @ 1300.00 and 2 bdrms (rarely available go for about 1600.00.Subject: Feline Lover

TRAIN STATION maybe its not as gentrifide as one may think.
So maybe Church Avenue station is gettin a Bad wrap???? MAYBE!!!!
I grew up in this area and its actually always been gentrifide.
Lemme rephrase, white poeple have lived here but they grew up here.
The gentrification comes from those of u who DID NOT!!!!
Bad "wrap"? What's wrong, was the chicken not cooked enough?
One positive thing about your post: if any parents thinking of moving to this area had any questions about the quality of the schools, they've been set straight.
