I live in this neighborhood, and the reports of it being dangerous are greatly exaggerated. Yes the reports of tension in the neighborhood are true, but for the most part this neighborhood consists of people just living their lives, which is one of the things that makes it so fun. You see working people, homeless people, hipsters who don't see the sun before 3PM, thugs & drug dealers, Hasidics, Latins, Asians, Whites, Blacks, and Arabs. Some days I hear the call the prayer a bit north of me and other days I hear the cathedral bells from the west. The point is that it is very difficult to codify the area. Also, it's all block from the Brooklyn Museum and the park. If you want to feel safe all the time stay in Williamsburg where you can talk about how ironic it is that you moved to New York only to end up in a shack with siding surrounded by other White people from Ohio living next to a nuclear disposal site and an oil refinery.
