Touristy, but nice

State Street, New York, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 05, 2008
3/5
Bordering Battery Park City, this street runs from Bowling Green down to South Ferry. It's a high point for tourists-the double decker buses leave from a spot midway between, and hot-dog vendors and ice-cream sellers are plentiful here-as, during the day, are ...

Small apartments, big feel.

Riverside Drive, New York, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 05, 2008
4/5
Like many other older sections of New York, many of the apartments here were made at a time when less spacious living was preferred. But in New York, such a thing can be easily tolerated, on a street midway between park and high-city living. Across the street ...

I've got a lot of love for New York City

New York, New York, United States
By AJ on Sep 05, 2008
4.5/5
I lived in NYC for a short time, and it really is hard to say anything bad about it. While my time in NYC was extremely short, and I hope to get back there very soon...that's how much I enjoyed it. From the big city feel of Broadway to the cosy back alleys, ...

A view of Prospect Park

Prospect Park W, Brooklyn, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 04, 2008
4/5
This street would be absolutely a dream to live on, if you could get an apartment, especially for young families. Park Slope, once not the greatest neighborhood, over the last thirty years has become a safe place for youung, trendy parents to come raise their ...

Lots of great shops

Garfield Place, Brooklyn, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 04, 2008
3/5
The street itself is pretty quiet. It's a lot of brownstones, most of them chopped up into tiny apartments and ruled over by draconian landlords. Like most other brownstones in the newly trendy Park Slope, it's very expensive. Landlords create rules from anyth...

For family and retirees

Aymar Avenue, Staten Island, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 04, 2008
3.5/5
Aymar is a very quiet street to live on, with gorgeous houses for the price. Just across from Clove Lake Park, it absolutely cannot be beat for environment and access to nature. With the WWII memorial skating rink nearby for early morning skating and multiple ...

For such a bad neighborhood, it's got a lot of shops.

Targee Street, Staten Island, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 04, 2008
2/5
This is in fact a bad neighborhood. Close to the Stapleton Projects, the somewhat nicer homes here cannot disguise the fact. The schools here are atrocious, and teachers are afraid even of the elementary school ones. However, there are a lot of accessible serv...

Amazing it's so nice!

St Pauls Avenue, Staten Island, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 04, 2008
4/5
This street is mere blocks from some of the rowdier streets, yet it manages to survive with its dignity intact. With beautiful yet affordable houses, plenty of street parking, and garages and nice yards, one wonders how this has survived in Staten Island witho...

Staten Island's Ghetto

Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 04, 2008
2/5
This street is a menace to decent living. While cost is low, it is low for a reason. The street is one of the most often speeded on, and many neighbors had accidents that actually crashed into their houses. One took out our steps. It is almost constantly dirty...

Beautiful street a walk from Prospect Park

15th Street, Brooklyn, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 03, 2008
4/5
If you're lucky enough to get into one of these beautiful brownstones, you will never regret it. While it's a little expensive to get one, unless you luck into a deal, the proximity of Prospect Park and the Circle means you won't be crying over it. The movie t...
