"Great Block w/Great Looking Brownstones"

This is a lovely tree lined street filled with lovely brownstones. It is a family oriented street schools are near by and you see kids playing outside after school. Very attractive and safe area during the day and night. You will find great affordable restaurants on 5th avenue and a couple of bars. You have Prospect Park and Methodist Hospital near by. This is not a tourist location by any means it is residential. Fantastic Street and neighborhood to take a walk and enjoy a great day.
