You cant say Harlem with out talking about the Apollo which is legendary and a must see whether you live in Harlem or not. Harlem is mostly African American and the people are very friendly. What i gotta say that i live is some of the oldr more classic building that just make me think about what Harlem must have been like 40 years ago. Its a mixture of people alot of new working class singles live their as well as many middle class families. You wont have to look far for good food. Melba's on 114th St has the best chicken and waffles hands down their worth breaking your diet and also Silvia'restaurant has such good soul food. There are even some decent lounges like Body which has a nice singles crowd.
There are great shopping places on 125th. Some new building are being built that really fresh and modern. Harlem basically has everything you want great food culture and affordable real estate.

Flatbush is a nice area to grow up in. There are some many people and different cultures all around you. It always seems like something is going on and there's never a dull moment. Some nice quiet family place would be around Ditmas Ave, Foster Ave, and Coney Island Ave there you'll find alot of family living and nice house especially the blockes between Ocean and Coney Island. Albamere has some of the biggest houses that you'll probably find in brookyn, there mini mansions and the block is peaceful and serene. Brooklyn College calls this neighbor home so you got alot of college kids around. It does have a Afro-Caribbean vibe where alot of culture can be found. Flatbush Ave is littered with great places to get authentic caribbean cuisine, and fresh baked bread, and their plenty of choices for vegetarians. Alot of singles are starting to move in so if could be a nice hot spot for new college grads.
