Montrose Ave L Stop
The East Williamsburg leg of our apartment search has focused around the area north of Grand Street (around the Graham L stop). However, we recently saw a nice unit near the Montrose Ave stop on the L that would give us a lot more space for the money. We walked around the neighborhood a bit, but haven't had time yet to do a really thorough exploration. Any advice or opinions on the area around the Montrose stop from current/past residents? I'm a little nervous that there's a huge housing project separating us from the rest of Williamsburg.
Thanks

At least one thing's for sure; you won't find any invisible dogs over there!

I would not move to that area. How much is the rent? You can probably get a lot more for your money in a nicer area of Brooklyn. Have you checked out Kensington?

Hard to say. It's not completely terrible, but the loft areas do seem to have a higher crime than the residential areas because they tend to be more deserted. In general, I wouldn't walk around anywhere in New York if there are not people around. I take taxis late at night. (FYI I live nearby in Bushwick -- Dekalb L stop.)
