Barbed wire does not equate "iffy" neighborhood. The tenants who live on that end have young kids and there is a side entrance that is right on Wash into their backyard. You can never be too safe. It was definitely safer and quieter there when I was renting than in Prospect Heights.

I actually lived for 2 years in the adajacent building and moved out after purchasing apt in Prospect Heights. The upstairs apartments are great for rental, however, beware of basement apartments. Whenever it rained, most experienced severe flooding. Apparently there were major disputes between the city and individual building owners over whose falut it was and I'm not sure if a resolution ever came. Therefore, if interested, I would make sure to have the basement/leak problem fully investigated.

Location is great and is anything BUT iffy. Extremely quiet with exception of bus and nice walk to Fort Greene resturants. I still miss that neighborhood!
