From what I have seen, it's reasonably safe. A large number of new homes were built in recent years near the beach.

It was never going to be permanent. Was crashing with my mom while I figured out if I wanted to rent or buy in Brooklyn.

Use to go the the beach there often when I lived in queens.

Very undervalued area I always thought, but not for lack or reason. Amount of projects there just ruins the otherwise perfect beach setting. Its the curse of NYC housing legacy. Putting up projects near the best beach areas.

Lots of good areas with equally bad areas very near by.

Get a car for your wife. Safer and quicker.
