I dont know much about the Ingersoll Houses themselves, but I recently moved to Fort Greene and I find it to be a great neighborhood. I regularly walk my dog in and around the park alone at 10-12 pm and have never had any issues at all (I'm an early 20s white female). Plus pretty much anything you need can be found on Myrtle ave.

I know people that have been robbed at gunpoint in daylight at the park near the projects...
Near Fort Greene park? Recently? The neighborhood has changed a ton in recent years from what I hear.
Yep, I used to go to Brooklyn Technical High School and I know of 5 students that were robbed at gunpoint at the park. I know of many others that were robbed in the area around the school. Then again, as someone told me it's probably because of the amount of high school students in the area at around 3pm - 4 pm that these robberies happen often.
Oh yeah, this was just last year (2009). The reason they don't show up on the map is because they most likely didn't report the robberies.
i chose ingersoll houses when i recieved my listing i know when i went past the area it didnt look to bad on myrtle but im from no where near fort greene and im kind of scared because i recently heard that ingersoll houses are currently being renovated and there were alot of drug deals going on in the vacant apartments in the buildings so i was kind of dissapointed when i learned this information. Also im worried because i have a daughter who is 2 years old . Does anyone know someone or maybe live around the area who could give me advice ???

I have picked ingersoll as well i went off the advice of people that currently live or near the area... First off u are right downtown brooklyn, Every store u can think of is down there, target, pathmark, oldnavy, childrens place, about a 4 blocks walk. every train 2,3,4,5,A,B,C,D,F,R,N there is Macy's 2 blocks down as well as many other stores. there is brooklyn hospital, LIU
(i went there) and they just open Pier 6 a awesome park for the kids my daughters loves the water park, schools in area i heard are great. When i went to check the area people said good morning and it is a pretty mixed area. The only down thing was i saw only one store right across the street other than that u will be walking about 3 blocks to the nearest store which sucks. I called yestarday and ingersoll had just received my app so i am almost on my way to apt. When did u send in your Listing? Hope the info helps
