I was there the other day around the F and not impressed. Would you say it's nicer by the q?
Not really, if you weren't impressed with it around the F, then you probably won't like the area near the Q either, but I will say Ocean Parkway is probably the best part of that area. Though I will say my fiancee had the same impression of the area that you did so we didn't move that way.
Try southern Brooklyn, further out but much nicer for the money.
In Sheepshead Bay, you have both the Q train for the city, and the B44 runs down the east side of the neighborhood (for a nice day the Bedford ave bike line goes right to campus).
Maybe Bensonhurst (N and D trains for the city) and the bay parkway bus goes to Brooklyn College as well.
No 1.5 hour commute but over an hour to Hunter however
I don't think the majority of kale is conflict free in sheepshead bay, man. I can't see that working for these two!
If you were around the F, that was Kensington, not Ditmas Park. What didn't you like about it? Too sleepy and residential? Ditmas Park proper, from Coney Island Ave. to Ocean Ave., has a bit more going on. If you like Greenpoint you'll probably like it, actually. You should check it out. It's really the only place in your budget that makes sense. You'll probably pay closer to $1350 than $1200 for a nice place.
Maybe look into Midwood? You would be within almost walking distance of school or at least a short bus ride. The rent will fall into your range, it's a relatively safe area and no shortage of stores. It's not hip, but there are access to trains.
I love how you were able to take a jab and not get worked up. That is rare with this subject on this forum. I like the cut of your jib.
My birth certificate says Los Angeles as my city of origin, but I was raised by a very feisty woman from Queens. I inherited that thick skin most New Yorkers seem to be born with...but uh, yeah, I've noticed a lot of butt hurt nancies on other threads.

I was off 18 av in a super Hasidic area. I found it really bleak. I like trees, I don't know. We'll look at a few places over there. Some have washer dryers in the apartments, which to me, is super exciting. For both of us, being close to the city is fairly important, especially since I tend to work uptown, but also, I'm kind of like the queen of being sick and most of my doctors are uptown. Thaaaat is why bed stuy and crown heights are so appealing.
Well, no wonder, you were in Borough Park! Ditmas Park is nothing like that. It has a surfeit of trees.
