"On 3rd Street"

This street is right near Byrne park in a nice section of Brooklyn. I think that this area is wonderful and that this is a lot. It's fairly convenient and it is close to the metro! You'll find more in terms of conveniences on nearby streets, but this street does have some nice housing options and things to do. All in all, a nice street in a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn.

"Convienient near trains and park"

Third street is very convenient to a large number of subway stops, so no matter where you are on the street, you are never very far from the train, say within a mile or so. On one end is prospect park. Prospect park hosts a lot of events like free concerts and festivals. It has an ice-skating rink, a carousel, a lake that you can go on boats in. You can get a permit to have a party there, which is really nice, because if you live in the area, chances are you don’t have any out side space of your own, so it is nice to be able to o somewhere to have a gathering like a barbecue.
