I was looking at an apt near the union ave stop on 4th ave in park slope. It is on the 2nd floor about 1/3 of the way up from 4th ave towards 5th ave. The apt faces the street and can get a slight view of 4th ave. I’m curious if anyone can tell me how loud and what the air quality is like to be next to 4th ave. Thanks.

  1. In answer to your question: It’s loud, and the grit and grime is more severe than it is on the avenues just up the hill.

    It’s amazing to me how far the real-estate madness has gone. I can’t wait to see what brokers charge for the new apts going up on 4th Ave. Whatever the price, it’ll be too high.

  2. It is def. loud and super noisy. Will be a drag in the summer if you need the windows open. Plus, the dirt from the exhaust is gross and will be all over everything in your apt.

  3. 4th Avenue is a racetrack non-rush-hours; during rush hour if there’s a breakdown on the Gowanus Expressway 4th Ave is the main overflow route.
    Caveat emptor.
