Baruch Pl, Lower East Side

Baruch Place is a small loop near the Williamsburg Bridge that leads to Brooklyn. There is low income housing in the area, but it actually isn’t that bad. There is a park on site for the Baruch Housing residents, and it is also close to Hamilton Park and East River Park. There are also several schools very close by. Overall this didn’t seem like a bad choice for people who need lower income housing, it seems safe and is well maintained.

This is a good street, but is mainly residential. There is a good basketball court on the north end of the street, and one my favorite summer passtimes is watching kids play. I wondered how many furture NBA stars were there. There were some girls playing jump rope and hopscotch, and they let me play! I love summer in this city, it's seems like everyone is on vacation!

Bethune Street is close to the following metro stations: 6 at Spring Street, F, J, M, Z at Essex St- Delancey St, and the J, M, Z at Bowery. It is also accessible to many buses. Foot traffic is moderate, and it is a good neighborhood for all people!
