Hi, thinking of renting at the intersection of Flatbush and Clarkson.  Is this a safe area? How about at night (11pm-3am) ? and..how safe for a single woman walking home alone from the Parkside station? ...Thanks ahead of time for your answers...

    We might have a few members familar with that area, but the Parkside Q seems to focus on the area exclusively:

    The area is changing very rapidly:

    Personally, I would use caution being out that late, headed home, and all without a friend or significant other accompanying me. The area between above Empire and below the Easter Parkway is fine. Feel welcome to PM me.

    Where is Charlton? I don't know that street at all. I think it's fine if it is near the park side stop. It just tends to be empty for the most part. I'd be most worried about getting hit by a car on Flatbush than anything else

    Perhaps the OP means Clarkson? The only Clarkson I know of is in Manhattan.

    Whynot's suggestion about reading "the Q at Parkside is a good one.

    I had a dream the other night that I went out for a beer with whynot, Q at Parkside, and Nick from ILFA and just sat and listened to them discuss Brooklyn. Pregnancy dreams are weird.

    That said, I have 2 girl friends who just moved to Clarkson and Flatbush and have enjoyed it. Not tons to do in the immediate area but that is changing quickly.

    An evening with the three of us would certainly be different than an evening with Tupac and Biggie.

    are your girlfriends single? Do they commute from NYC? walk home from the Q?  Would love to maybe get in touch with them...poss?

    They are single and commute into Manhattan.  If they're out after 11pm they tend to take cabs home, but more because if it's after 11pm they're probably drunk/tipsy and so a cab sounds better than a train ride regardless of time.
