newcomer wants to know neighborhood nuances

I’m about to get in contract on a lovely browstone in Ft. Greene on Clermont. I would have my son live there instead of paying rent on Pacific in Boerum Hill. Asking price is $1.5MM for 3 units w/ owner’s duplex. I heard Boerum Hill is much nicer than Ft. Greene. Is that true? Am I in the ballpark w/ price? I don’t trust the realtors.
