Good neighborhoods in Brooklyn?

Why don't you move to Queens instead. You can find a very nice place for that amount.

Queens > Brooklyn😀

hey, is it safe at night? my mom works long days and parts of BK are shady at night, right?
 
Freedom, this can't be a serious ques. 😀 What part of NY do you live in? As of now, I think any person reading the daily papers can tell you the hottest spot to live in is Williamsburg. Probably the most secure & SoHo-like neighborhood this side of Manhattan. 5-15 min commute to the city at best, inc. public transportation.

Good luck.:beer:

I grew up in Flatbush, well not really Flatbush, more Midwood. Nice neighborhood, perfectly safe at night.

Hey,
I know williamsburgs the "it" place to live... I don't think it's the right 'hood for my parents though.. I mean, I'm moving out in a year so it wouldn't be fair to more them to a hipster area just for the scene, know what I mean ?

I hate how people think Midwood is Flatbush. Flatbush is farther north than Midwood.

That's exactly why I said Midwood not Flatbush. For people like you who HATE it. 😀

Not just for the scene, but for the scenery. You can view the island of Manhattan from almost any part of Williamsburg. My experience living there has been great. They've recently put up condos there for under 350k. Security is also a big part of the community, as you have more & more celebrities movin' in. There are a lot of hipsters there, but they haven't completely taken over (there are still plenty of oldies livin' there). Give it a look. 😀

lies.. Murrow ownz Midwood 😉

I use to live in Midwood / near flatbush
 
bensonhurst used to be a great place to live in. its changed now a little bit, but i still love my neighborhood. Queens is quite possibly the WORST borough to live in. If you want something nice go to Brooklyn. Be warned, car insurance rates are insane in Brooklyn.
