I will look at the areas that you've mentioned in Brooklyn.
My SO is already in NY and part of the reason for my move is because he has 2-3 years before he'd like to retire from the NYPD. He would live in the home as well but because of my preferences and needs, he'd be willing to follow my lead on where to live.
Just as you mentioned, I'd want my children to be able to have a place to stay/visit if they choose. Their father, though from NYC as well, would still be in the DC area for the time being.
If you spend more than 183 days per year in NYC, or even if you spend somewhat less than 183 days but you keep things that are "near & dear" to you at your NYC residence, you will be considered a NYC resident for tax purposes (ie, you will be subject to NY State and NYC taxes as a full-year NYC resident).
I am considering relocating to NYC from the DMV area. I am in my early 40s with 2 children entering their college phase of life. I realize that NYC is extremely expensive but I travel back and forth between DC and NY and would love to move to an area that is diverse and walkable. To find a place with some closet space and a decent sized kitchen are huge bonuses. What advice would you have or suggest, as far as places to look for housing? I love the Lincoln Square / Upper WS area, I'd consider Harlem and I'm open to areas in Brooklyn, though Manhattan is preferred.
I'm a Federal Gov. employee and I'd be working remotely. Having said all of that, what I've mentioned are desires and I know some sacrifices will need to be made, just be cause of the expense of living in NY but I'm open to suggestions on where and how to start.
You're a federal government employee working remotely from the DC metro and you want to actually relocate to NYC? Are you aware that you will pay higher taxes and that your overall quality of life will diminish?

That's subjective. In any event, while OP may pay higher taxes, OP and SO earn enough to live comfortably in NYC.
