I know millbrook and its often nick named killbrook due to high rate of shootings.c if I'm not mistaken someone lite up a police patty wagon with an assault rifle or submachine gun in or around millbrook.

Melrose is another no brained to avoid. This past year someone got shot in the head outside that housing development. I walked passed melrose housing project a few weeks ago usual hood stuff, guys hanging around the corner drink 40s lighting up and selling weed and catcalling women.

Butler pj's used to be one of the most dangerous housing pj in the south Bronx a decade ago. I don't know how much has changed in that area. Last time I visited that area was ten years ago and I too saw a thick pool of blood over the tressel on park avenue at butler projects and this was at night to attend a baby shower.
i co-sign on this. the jackson houses are to be avoided at all costs. that guy that posts up in front of the BP gas station, asking for money for his kids, is from the projects nearby as well. i tell him to "get a job" quite often.

The person that put castle hill has the first choice for the worse housing project is stupid and apparently doesnt know what they are talking about!!!!! Castle hill would be my first choice i was born and raised out there and never seen anything too crazy and if you have children that location would be your best bet Webster should be the worst right along with patterson courtland

I agree with Seventh. I can vouch for the Harlem one's not being any good. Throw the names in a hat and pick one out. You get more of the same with all of them.
