Living in Boerum Hill
Thinking of moving from the slope to Boerum Hill…What is a safer block–Bergen between Bond/Nevins or Wyckoff between Smith/Hoyt?

Our next pub walks are on July 15 and August 11. Even people from Bored Greene are welcome. 😉
the only thing better about Boring Hill is that they’ve 4th Ave Pub and Hanks…oh and that Aussie bar and that weird coffee shop/bar place.
What’s that place called again?…it’s supposed to be cool but i never hang out there.
There you go again, wasder, trying to inject a dose of reason into people’s conversations! Anyway, I totally agree with the advice to walk the blocks in question in daytime and nighttime, weekdays and weekends if you have the time.
I’m with Wasder. Also, how does the poster define “safe?” Exactly how many crimes – or lack of such – would be required for the street to be deemed “safe?” Kind of a silly question.

Yet oddly, more expensive than Ft greene.
and are stats ever done on block by block basis?
I mean these are 2 very close to each other. Do you think crime varies that much ?
Do you think some mugger would not walk 2 blocks over to
Clinton St in heart of Cobble HIll?
More like secure is bldg moving into?
But to address the question….. Bergen is couple of long blocks home late at night from subway station…and Wyckoff is essentially around the corner from subway (and bars if that is your lifestyle).
Being that I used to live on Dean & Nevins. I think both blocks are fine, but if I had to choose I would pick Bergen.
ftgreenpk: LOL
Gotta say that this is one of the more tedious kinds of questions posed on this forum. No disrespect intended towards OP but the better way to handle something like this is to go out to these blocks in the evening time and see for yourself how you feel. Asking this question like this just gives everyone a chance to sound off about their own various prejudices without actually giving you much good info (again general comment and no disrespect intended to commenters above). I just find it normally ends up as a public housing bash fest.
