Lake Ave, Manhattan Beach

I'm not sure what Lake it is named after, since there is no Lake around Lake Avenue, but I guess the fact that it is close to the water is close enough. Lake Avenue is a very small street in the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn, which ends at Emmons Avenue. It is not particularly attractive, since there is a mix of houses on the street and a couple of dilapidated garages and an empty lot, but it is very close to a lot of good restaurants and services. So if you love being close to the water and water activities, it's a good place to live. The surrounding neighborhood is good and very lively. It is packed with people during the warmer months since everyone likes being close to the water. It's close to transportation routes that can get you into Queens very easily and it's not a bad ride around Brooklyn to get into Manhattan (as long as traffic is OK). Lake Avenue may not be the most attractive street in this area, but you can't go wrong living in this neighborhood.
