The area by the dog park is pretty serene. I'm assuming you are talking about some of those wood cladded houses on Middagh street. Its a quiet hood, no crime, full of yuppies with strollers and dogs. Its elevated above the BQE so you really wont notice highway noise, and there is no flood risk. Its a boring hood (which is good), you can hop over to manhattan easily via 2 or A/C train or take a cab since you are a bitcoin millionaire.
Yes, Middagh Street is where the property is located. Do you know anything else about the area?

Thats a prime area, good investment.
No crime, no drunks. Very quiet, yuppie family orientated neighborhood. You won't notice the BQE, and no flooding.
I would cash in your Bitcoins now, buy that property asap.
Setup one level for yourself, rent the rest out so you can have a steady income stream. Brooklyn Heights rents are high.
The area is landmarked, so maintaining your property within landmark rules can be costly, but prime NYC real estate is always a great investment.
I live nearby in DUMBO and my condo was the best investment I ever made.
Forgot to mention, there is a public school nearby, but Brooklyn Heights kids are well behaved so it shouldn't be an issue. I personally know someone who owns on Middagh street and they seem pretty happy.

So I shouldn't expect hobos, alcoholics, drunks, and people making their way back home from a night at the clubs?

Thats a typical night in the West Village or LES, but not family friendly Brooklyn Heights. Brooklyn Heights is downright boring, but I see that as a positive.
Do you think I could earn $2,000/mo by renting out one of the bedrooms, furnished? I'd like to have a plan on being able to maintain the property (with insurance, repairs, etc) and pay property tax.
Thread Update: Can anyone else recommend me nice areas of Brooklyn and maybe places in Manhattan that I haven't discovered yet.
What are you looking for in terms of location? Are you looking for something very close to the city?
