PLG is a sketchy neighborhood. No doubt about it. But that just means you have to keep your wits about you and exercise a reasonable degree of caution. Yes, if you fail to be cautious you will be in big trouble sooner or later, but that is true in plenty of nabes, not just PLG.
I agree that President St is a great place to be, but Boerum Hill is so convenient to all the subways. For a family where people have to go to different places in the city on a daily basis that really hard to beat.
Re: the Carroll Gardens house. While I agree that the Boerum Hill house looks beautiful, I disagree about Dean St. being a preferred location. That block of President St. is truly one of the most ideal locations in all of Carroll Gardens for both beauty and convenience and I wish I lived on it. Although if you prefer Boerum Hill in general, of course Dean Street is lovely. Still, that CG house seems way overpriced.
10:58 poster- your point about Rutland house not taking advantage of the extra width is well made. I guess with that in mind I would prefer the Midwood 1 house too. But in comparison to the Lincoln Road house, Rutland takes my vote. I looked at the Lincoln Road house before it was renovated. They did a great deal of work. However, I think that type of house is harder to cozy up because it is so grand. I also like the idea of creating a secret garden, which is more easily done with attached townhouses. Lincoln Road is an awesome house, though.
I find it to be a very nic, quiet nabe.
Sorry, 8:56 a.m. was me.
I love the PLG homes. They’re beautiful. I’ve been willing to live here a long time and I don’t find it too dangerous.

The thing about the 25 foot width of the Rutland Road house is that the floorplan doesn’t take advantage of it. The living room is just 12’6″ wide–the same as or narrower than in a 20′ wide house. And it is only 3 stories, whereas the Midwood street hous is 4. And the Midwood street house is not on a busy street. Both seem really overpriced, but I can see the argument for paying top dollar for the Midwood street house.
