Discussion going on right now on the Craigslist NYC Housing Forum: “A couple friends of mine, and I, are currently looking for a new place starting may. We are all undergrad students with full time jobs, and in trying to decide on locations mutually feasible for our work and school (midtown/downtown work, NYU and Brooklyn College school) we’re growing more and more interested in the area of prospect heights/crown heights in brooklyn. Specifically, the area around the 2/3 and 4/5 trains. Does anyone know this area well, and have any advice? We’ve walked around there a few times at night and during rush hour to get a feel, it seems to be real block-by-block, but the shadiest parts we saw still didn’t seem that bad.
