I found a few affordable places in Brooklyn to buy, particularly, around Nostrand Ave. and the Winthrop and Church Ave stop on the 2/5 line. Does anyone have any first hand experience about this area? I work a standard 9-5 work week and have a car.
Anyone care to chime in on this neighborhood which I guess is known as either East Flatbush or Prospect Lefferts Gardens.
East Flatbush is primarily a Caribbean neighborhood. I heard the crime rate was high but when I went through there I saw nice houses and the area looked a lot safer than the one I came from.
I don't live too far from there. Nice area of hard working, church going West Indians. Nothing to be worried about. Just show Respect.
Thanks, that's what it seemed like. I was there on Sunday and there were lots of church busses going around so it seemed okay. I'm just unsure about what happens after dark but I guess that can be said about anywhere.
the neighborhood you're looking at is actually the border of flatbush and east flatbush. shooting incidents do happen, but they're usually more on a personal basis, not random, like fights at a club or nonsense like that. some blocks are quiet, while some are rowdy.

Check the morning news. There are two guys going around robbing stores at gunpoint in e flatbush. Dangerous area! Maybe it won't bother you if you fit into that mode and are accustomed to it. If you have kids or a family you would have to be insane to move there no matter what race you are.
Also, a guy was killed sitting in a car on e. 34th st. I work for sanitation. I'm familiar with the area.
