Best Area of Brooklyn
I am curious to hear what people think is the best area to live in Brooklyn. I am not talking about cheapest or most expensive. I am talking about overall the best bars, restaurants, access to subway, safety?
I feel it comes down to 2 or 3 areas and thats it...

FAR AND AWAY Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill / Carroll Gardens. Though park blocks in Park Slope rival this area, but the Park Slope neighborhood as a whole just doesn't feel as "nice" (ugly sections in western and southern Park Slope). I live near the corner of Atlantic and Court and it is the best of both worlds - gorgeous, tree-lined Brooklyn Heights one block away, with shopping and dining on Montague Street; lively Smith and Court Streets with their bars and restaurant rows a block away down in Cobble Hill. Lots of young people, lots of subway lines running through here, a good commute (NOTHING in Brooklyn beats it for commuting to Manhattan, although the Bedford L in Williamsburg rivals it), and an overall safe and aesthetically pleasing neighborhood.

Considering the OP's criteria, I'd completely agree with you.  |

Definitely Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights and Greenpoint. Williamsburg, Park Slope, and Dumbo are the next three I'd recommend.
