TONY Recommends: Carroll G, Sunset P and The Wick

The title of Time Out New York‘s current issue is Apartments: How to find a place when you’re ready for the next phase of your life. Not surprisingly, the County of Kings pops up more than once. Carroll Gardens gets the nod in the You’re tired of hip, gritty and edgy category. And if you’re looking for one of New York’s last untouched neighborhoods, TONY recommends Sunset Park where you are encouraged not to worry about the lack of nightlife: “I remember all Williamsburg was 10 to 15 years ago was a bar and a bulletin board near the L stop,” says 34-year Sunset Parker Jason Hernandez-Rosenblatt. “And look what happened there. And for those young lovebirds looking to play house but not quite ready to breed, there’s always Bushwick. Once people realize they can get a 1,000-square-foot loft with skylights for $1,300 a month and still be only ten minutes from Manhattan, the 300-square-foot, fifth-floor walk-up with the shower in the kitchen on Ludlow Street for $2,300 doesn’t look so great anymore, says Chrissy Rossettie, an ArdorNY agent.
Apartments: Urban Renewal [TONY]
12:21, don’t worry about the L on weekends. I can’t remember the last time is was shuttered for track work. Doesn’t mean it won’t still be ongoing, just that the major hassles are over.
I’d worry about the morning L crush. But that’s more of an issue the closer you are to the Bedford stop.
Not sure about good realtors, sorry.
There is no comparison, CG rocks over park slope. It is much closer to manhattan and there is a sense of a neighborhood.
and i’d take the bars and shops on 5th avenue in park slope over smith street any day.
i think in a poll you’d find most prefer park slope over carroll gardens, if for no other reason than i’ve never met a soul who enjoyed commuting on the F train.
it’s THE WORST!
Carroll Gardens is WAY expensive now, and the F train blows. Even when I lived there over 10 years ago I had to let 3 trains pass before I could sandwich myself in durning morning rush. I can’t imagine what it’s like now, and getting to work every morning late and crabby is a horrible way to live. For the same price you can live in Manhattan anyway, with better subway options.
My husband and I like Bushwick a lot but wonder about the L on the weekends, any thoughts? Also who is a good realtor for the nabe? Seems listings on nytimes are all new and we’re interested in something old or old-ish
But Carroll Gardens is better than Park Slope. Sooo much better.
It makes a lot of sense look at the people and the kids, carroll Gardens kids look like they took a bath, the parents look like they cleaned underneath there finger nails. That’s what it means very simple stuff here , you just need to open your eyes.
i don’t know what the cleaned up version crap is supposed to mean at all.
makes no sense.
i don’t think the article meant to compare and contrast every neighborhood, or to say CG is better than PS.
