I'm a female and when i checked out the area two years ago, I did feel a little wary, but two years later, you'll be amazed how quickly things have changed! Yes, more young professionals are making the move out here. i feel safe and the neighbors are all really nice and has a very family oriented feel.

I think it is just the stigma that bushwick has carried for so many years and it's hard to get rid of. However, in time I think Bushwick will be just as hip as its sister, williamsburg. After all...it sooo close to the city! :)
