"Not exactly prime real estate, but it's home"
I've lived on this street for close to a year now so I may be a bit biased. While I realize that it is a far cry from Park Ave in the city, I actually enjoy living here. There is a laundry mat on the corner and plenty of pizza and sandwich places around. Perhaps the highlight of the block is the soul food cafe on Broadway.
This street isn't tourist friendly - that's for sure. The rent is entirely affordable here - likely because the area is home to a couple of low income housing projects. Like much of Bushwick, Park Street is far from picturesque. The JMZ goes by over Broadway at the end of the block, and it can definitely be heard on the entire street. The street is located about halfway between stops, though, so you don't really hear the horrible noise the train makes as it comes to a stop.
