Garden Pl, Brooklyn Heights

This tiny historic district is actually inside of the neighborhood of Flatbush. This is one of those spots that developers are salivating over, as it hasn’t been built on in a while, stimulating the usual reactions of local New Yorkers (some think development is a great idea, while others want to maintain the neighborhood they have now).
Besides plans to erect a Manhattan-esque luxury condo smack in the middle of the area, the neighborhood also features the sort of things you’d expect from an area mostly populated by Caribbean Americans – mainly the assortment of Caribbean style restaurants. This area is low-key and unpretentious.

I think that this is a good place to get started in Brooklyn, but maybe not the best place for someone looking for something a bit more stable. It seemed like a lot of the property was rented and not owned, so try another street for something a bit more stable!
