PLG vs. Bed Stuy
Which area is the best value and best potential for growth? Im looking at a property at Ocean ave & Woodruff and another on Decatur at Throop (both just outside the historic districts although both are worthy of it)
Comments
I'm a big PLG booster, but I'm not into trying to make invidious comparisons--look at both neighborhoods.
However, you should be aware that Ocean and Woodruff is just outside of PLG [and several blocks south of the historic district].

I think both neighborhoods have great potential for growth. They both have beautiful historic districts.

That’s a no brainer.
Decatur by a sure shot. 3 mins to C line and 25 mins to Manhattan

I'd say BedStuy know several people who live there, love it. And have been trying to keep it on the Down Low.

Ocean & Woodruff - worthy of historic district? Are you serious? Although that used to be my stomping ground - you can't be real!
To answer your question directly - Decatur, would likely be my choice in terms of location and community feeling. Although the proximity to the park is a real perk w/ Ocean Ave as well as the Q line at Parkside which gets you to Manhattan rather quickly - downside here is too many big buildings.
Need more information in terms of property comparison to make a no brainer choice.

Check out Crown Heights. Better transport and 5 blocks from Prospect Heights and it's right across from Park Slope for good restaurants.

Crown Heights does not have better transportation generally - unless you're near Eastern Parkway or Fulton St.
5 blocks to PH - please, stop it - you're living in a vacuum.

I don't see how the C train is better than the B/Q.
