Lot’s of homeless compared to the rest of Park Slope. I walked from from 6th avenue and 2nd street to BAM. I walked down 6th avenue the way there, 5th avenue on the way back. The only homeless people I saw were on 4th avenue right around St. Mark’s. For some reason there are usually a bunch homeless types right around there. It’s a very harsh corner with Atlantic and 4th Avenue and Flatbush all converging. It’s simply not a nice place to be, but one black in the other direction, 5th avenue and St. Marks is real nice.
lots of homeless, 4:13?
compared to?
i usually see a homeless person or two around there, but no more than i see on 5th avenue in manhattan outside prada.
The Clinton Hill House Tour is on October 6th.
The Bed Stuy House Tour is on October 20th – the 29th anniversary for The Brownstoners of Bed Stuy.
The Bedford Stuyvesant 10k is on October 7th at 10:00 AM and 35% of it goes through Crown Heights – the 26th annual Bed Stuy 10k, and a great tune up for the ING NYC Marathon.
“so anyone knows whats wrong with st marks pl?”
So it seems as if at least one person wants to get back to the topic at hand.
I happened to walk down that street last night. I think that maybe it’s relative cheap because it’s so close to 4th avenue – lots of homeless types – and Flatbush. However, it’s also super close to Atlantic/Pacific subway.
How would we count that, 3:45 since many couples live in 1 bedroom apartments.
Feel free to come down from your high horse anytime.
Guest at 3:38pm, it’s not my personal opinion that young hip renters bring a great number of hipper amenities, it’s a known fact in real estate in NYC.
Nor is it up to my personal opinion whether Park Slope is filled with stroller moms or hipsters. Look at facts. Add up how many studio and 1BR rental units you have in Park Slope and there’s your number of young singles.
Why is everything on Brownstoner always about people’s personal, emotional, subjective opinions? Sounds like the George W. Bush way of becoming the decider.
2:51…but everyone says Park Slope has no hipsters and that it’s filled entirely with familes and tons of children in strollers.
Which is it?
If you really think it’s young singles keeping business alive and well in Park Slope you should walk over to Blue Ribbon or Al di La or Matter or…
We have some places for singles, sure…but you are making it sound like the east village, which it is certainly not.
Businesses here are supported from an upper middle class that is strong and has some discretionary income because they bought houses cheaply a while ago and now have an incredible neighborhood that they helped build.
To suggest that once you are no longer single means you no longer frequent bars, go out to dinner or shop makes me glad that I’ve yet to have children.
What’s the point of living in a city if you aren’t going to partake in any of those things any longer?
Oh, and see I thought this was an interesting discussion about real estate in all of historic Brownstone Brooklyn not just the *approved* areas.
But now that I’m corrected I’ll move on, since I don’t even actually live in Crown Heights anyway. I just appreciate people who renovate and care for beautiful historic houses. I think people like that are pretty cool. But that’s just me.
I can’t believe that at 100+ posts the CH posters here are still falling all over themselves to justify their decision to buy/live in Crown Heights. For crying out loud, yes, you made a foolish mistake getting involved with this part of Brooklyn. It’s now up to you to face your mistake, not enlist the aid of this website and its readers in your continued efforts at self-deception.
Crown Heights stinks. It is a foul neighborhood, full of cop killing, drug abusing, gang banging rapists. Deal with it and leave us alone!!
