“A case in point is Joe Chan, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, who recently moved to Washington and Sterling streets in Brooklyn. I moved to Prospect Heights or Crown Heights, but I’m not really sure which, says Mr. Chan, who adds that he tells friends he lives in Prospect Heights because they are more familiar with it. He also notes that on the popular Brooklyn blog Brownstoner, there are pages of people debating which neighborhood Mr. Chan’s address is located in. “Only when the name makes the transition from real estate hype or marketing label to a commonly used phrase to describe a neighborhood does it hold, says Jonathan Miller, chief executive of appraisal firm Miller Samuel Inc. In the case of Mr. Chan’s area, the jury is clearly still out.” — Crain’s
Crown Street ends at Washington Ave. End of discussion!

10 years ago I was at a party in Crown Heights and a local asked me where I lived and I said Classon Ave…she replied “oh, the mason/dixon line!”

Classon and Franklin are definitely in Crown Heights North, although that section is called Crow Hill. No one in Crow Hill denies that they live in a part of Crown Heights, however, and are proud of the fact. Real estate agents, not withstanding, who would have you believe Nostrand Ave is Propsect Heights East.
Classon makes a lot more sense as a border since it’s also the border between Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy

“says Mr. Chan, who adds that he tells friends he lives in Prospect Heights because they are more familiar with it.”
That’s funny. I tell people I live in Crown Heights because that’s where I live.
