Ellery St, Bedford Stuyvesant

This street is my street's nextdoor neighbor, and it is home to the abandoned building with a missing wall that sits directly behind our house. If you are familiar at all with this city, you will immediately recognize that any kind of empty lot or property attracts all sort of nasty vermin - in the case of our apartment it is a battle against mice.

I have driven down this street thousands of times (the part of it between Broadway and Beaver, anyway) and have never seen a parking space on it (that isn't marked by a meter), leading me to believe that the residents here never go anywhere. At the end of the block, on Beaver, there is a school that lets out at 3:30, so prepare for the outflux of children if you move into the area.

The street is divided by Woodhull Hospital, a place that I am often warned against going.

There are various businesses on this street in Brooklyn. Firstly, if you're not one for children, this might not be the place for you. Public School 373 is here, along with various small businesses, providing services ranging from Glass Machinery to Baked goods. There are also some cute residential options here. I would highly recommend this street because of it's convenience. It's also located near the G train at Flushing Avenue.
