Avenue X Brooklyn
I got placed for an internship at a school on Avenue X (betw W11th and W 12th Street) in Brooklyn, close to Coney Island. The school is across the street from PJs and the area looks a bit sketchy on the google satellite map (although I may be just paranoid). Is it safe for a swf to walk these streets? I would be taking the train to get there. Does anyone know the area? Any info would be greatly appreciated..

thats marlboro houses...it is a little sketchy over there....i would take extra precaution walking on stillwell ave, to me that looks like the rowdiest part of marlboro to me. the blocks surrounding marlboro are quiet however, there's no huge spillover of crime from the projects to the surrounding area like in most instances....other than that, the most i can tell you is be aware of your surroundings.

I live a handful blocks from there, never any issues. As he said, no spillover from the PJ. Just go up to Ave U and its a very nice area.
If you google map it you can see walking path to either the D or N lines.
You have the plus of being right near L&B on 86th St.
