Moving to Clinton Hill

Looking at a great garden apt on Waverly btwn Park and Myrtle. I am a single woman with three dogs. It feels safe to me but I have not walked around there at night yet. I have also not signed the lease yet. Just moved here from Austin, Texas - could use some Brooklyn point of view on safety, etc.

you should be totally fine.

btw, i just moved here from austin in january and love it!

Tina, you'll be fine. We live right by there and walk up and down that block with our two dogs all the time.

Heck we can even get you involved in the Clinton Hill Dog Run group.

I highly recommend walking around the area during the day & at night, just to check it out and see how you feel!

I agree. A lot of it depends on your perception and comfort level. I'd feel comfortable walking around at night, and I don't have any pets. However, I know some people who would be less inclined.
