Hellos! My family received a letter from housing authority and they told us that we are in the waiting list for a apartment in the Marlboro neighborhood. I just wanted to ask if its a good neighborhood? We were kind of excited to move but I'm scared the area there might not be that good :T Thanks!
Do you mean the Marlboro Houses on 86th St. I know someone that got jumped in there (although I usually assume the worst with projects). However the surrounding area is solid/nice, I live in walking distance, the Ave U retail strip is pretty good
I live not too far, long walk, short drive. I have rode my bicycle around the area on weekends, looked fine to me. Train is close as is shopping and all that neighborhood stuff.
I have never been at night, so you might want to check it out.
Also everyone has their own idea of what is good and bad.
o.o yea i think its the Marlboro 86th street 11223..really? :[ Now I'm scared...
Well.... Bensonhurst and Gravesend are both decent neighborhoods,
I would think the Marlboro Houses shouldn't be so bad compare to
other projects from other area. But projects are projects, it's
probably going to be a little more rough around the Marlboro houses
than the rest of the neighborhood.
That area is alright, nothing bad really. 86th is very developed with a lot of stores, ave u is also developed with stores going all the way down to like kings plaza. Its a decent area I think but its right by the elevated train so you probbaly hear it.
I used to chill a bit in the Marlboro houses. It's the projects, but it's cool enough to chill around. I personally wouldn't want to live anywhere in the part of BK though. A little out of the way for me.
I've been there a few times....one of the safer NYCHA in Brooklyn. I've seen much worse. And everytime I went it was at night with all my best stuff on. Diamonds and all.
