[amelie80]

hi guys! sorry for my english. I am a french student. I would like to rent a room for 1 month in september. I am speaking with someone for a room in 5511 Fort Hamilton parway in Borough Park. Can anyone let me know anything about the area, safety and how is it after dark?
thank you in advance

Borough Park is an extremely orthodox Jewish area. Borough Park, Brooklyn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't know anything about it personally, but if I were you I would try to find something elsewhere in Brooklyn - like Bay Ridge or Ditmas Park or Kensington.

It's on the edge of Borough Park, close to Brooklyn Chinatown. It's a perfectly safe area, even after dark, but it's also incredibly boring. You would be better off moving to nearby Bay Ridge, which is still fairly cheap for rentals.

very very very, safe. boring = safe though, eh? it's rather residential / mom/pop and somewhat of a passthrough area, since it's the fthamiltonpkway route. 10yrs ago it was even more quiet/dead w/ less store fronts. that's near circus fruits etc. and a N train stop.
