clinton hill/park slope
am thinking of moving to clinton hill or park slope. clinton hill costs less, but park slope is more of an established hood. am also concerned about safety in clinton hill- want to be near the c train but it seems a little dicey around there at night. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.

if you want multicultural why are you moving anywhere in brownstone brooklyn. All of them are pretty bland.
Sunset park trumps them all if you want a wide range of people
The average income of Clinton Hill is less than 20,000 a year.
Thank you, 11:59.
Some people in this city consider diversity, 80% black and 20% white, even though the actual country is the exact opposite of that.
It’s weird. I never get that. Park Slope actually best represents the overall diverse population of the U.S. better than most neighborhoods in NYC….
The U.S. is only 12% black….not 80% so how is Clinton Hill diverse???
It’s predominently black.
No projects in Clinton Hill???!!
LOLOLOL
I would hardly call lots of black people and a few rich white people “multicultural”
but whatever
If you’re a pansy and have no soul, go to Park Slope. If you wanna live in a vibrant, multicultural Brooklyn neighborhood go to the Hill. So what if you get knocked around a bit.
thanks so much for all the input. it really has been helpful.
I currently rent in Fort Greene and love it, my wife and I are trying to buy an apartment and unfortunately cannot afford Fort Greene. We have been looking in Clinton Hill. While at the moment we can find something we can afford there, give it a couple years and then we couldn’t afford there either. Comparing Clinton Hill with Park Slope is not even in the same realm. If you want every amenity on the planet and can afford Park Slope go there. If you need a place to live in a nice but yet still up and coming neighborhood (in terms of retail) then Clinton Hill is a good bet. As far as transportation, I currently live in central Fort Greene across from the park, the apt. we are looking at adds seven minutes to the walk to Atlantic Station or the C at Lafayette /South Oxford. Does Park Slope have less crime? Yes.. But add another couple hundred thousand to the price tag. That said, both places are nice.
All the snarking back and forth about these neighborhoods makes me realize they’re just another way for people to accessorize. Thanks to the few people who just gave an honest take on how they see the neighborhoods, without derision.
There are pluses and minuses to both, good people and not so good people in both, and there’s always an inherent risk involved with living anywhere in New York. Neither place is Compton, but neither place is Walla Walla. Figure out your price range. Figure out how you would get from each neighborhood to all the places you need to go. Go visit each neighborhood a time or two for a good couple hours, talk to a few people, look around and see if you like what you see and hear and if you feel comfortable. Then make your decision. And then ignore anyone who would tell you what kind of person you must be for picking your new neighborhood.
Oh please stop with the “no projects, only Mitchell Lama housing.” That statement sums up the fact that Clinton Hill and Park Slope are now sadly the same place. Both filled with the same fucktards who refuse to admit that they have projects and both think their shit smells like roses.
