"Nothing special, residential area in a less-than-awesome neighborhood"

This street is almost purely residential; there's not much happening here. As it is located in Bed-Stuy, I wouldn't recommend a visit to this street for anyone from out of town. Bed-Stuy has gotten increasingly safer in recent years, but it still remains a place where a lot of low income families live. Therefore the surrounding shops and bodegas aren't of the highest quality.

I often drive up this street when returning to Bushwick and the drive isn't too bad, though there are a few potholes here and there that can be taken care of. If you are driving expect to find yourself behind a number of buses, as this is a route often traveled.
Pros
  • affordable
Cons
  • ugly
  • not extremely safe

"On Lewis Avenue"

Lewis Avenue is a simple street. I like this area a lot and think that it very easily accessible and good place to live if you’re thinking about moving to New York City from anywhere in the country. I think that this street, which is filled with small businesses and residences, and a nice calm fluid feel. All in all, this is a nice street and should be considered on your move to NYC.

"On Lewis Avenue"

Lewis Avenue is filled with various businesses and small shops in this fluid and exciting neighborhood in Brooklyn. I really liked the look and feel of the area and also the friendly people. I think that this is a good place to live if you’re looking to move to Brooklyn. All in all, this is a great street in Brooklyn and definitely one you should take a look at.

""An up and coming area""

Lewis Avenue in the Bedford Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, is and up-and -coming. There are new boutiques, shops, and restuarants developing in the area constantly.

This is a historical area which includes brownstones that have been around as early as 100 years ago. The area is experiencing a restoration of it's old features lost to the areas downfall a few years ago.

This is a residential area that is lively in the summer and runs through the majority of streets in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

There includes a cafe, an antique furniture store, and a bookstore called Brownstone Books all located at Lewis between Decatur and Macdonough street.
