union street btw hoyt and bond
I went to an open house today on union street btw hoyt and bond. I really loved the house but not so sure about the location. I am not familiar with this area so some feed back would be really appreciated.

“Well ok you live on 3rd street and 6th ave right? OK walk up to Prospect park west then cross over to Eastern Parkway, How many blocks was that? Ok that is not housing projects but it certainly is a Ghetto. Now walk on over to Flatbush ave and what’s right there? ok now lets see who is walking all over 7th ave at 3pm after school? Ok my point indeed.”
Again – This is not 3 or 4 blocks, You and the 2:33 poster are idiots. The OP is planning on living 3-4 blocks (Read-Street Blocks) from a huge housing project. This translates into a 1 minute or less walk.
What you guys are talking about “A four Block Radius encompasses 5th Avenue” and “Cross Prospect Park to Eastern Parkway…” are really measured more in miles than minutes. Please try to at least be more realistic when arguing your obvious major stretch of a point.

A four block radius around the Gowanus Houses would extend east/west from Henry St. to 5th Avenue and north/south from Atlantic Avenue to Fifth Avenue, encompassing almost all of Cobble Hill + Boerum Hill and parts of Gowanus. Ironically, it would not include the block that was of interest to the OP (Union St. between Hoyt and Bond which is 5 blocks away.
“EX: Park Slope/Crown Heights/ The other side of the Prospect park.”
I live on 3rd street and 6th Ave in Park slope – Please enlighten me as to which projects are 3-4 blocks away.
Thanks!
Thank you for your comments.
The Entire city is 3 or 4 blocks away from a Housing development and if they are not near a housing authority development, then they are right next to a Ghetto or not so nice of a nabe. EX: Park Slope/Crown Heights/ The other side of the Prospect park.
There is nothing “borderline” about the location. PS. The Gowanus Houses are about “3-4 blocks” away from almost every house in Cobble Hill + Boerum Hill and a good part of Carrol Gardens.
Gowanus Houses on Douglass – Only 3-4 Blocks away.
