"Park Street!"
If I were gonna live in the Bedford area of Williamsburg, I would probably live at North 11th. A large part of the street is right on McCarren Park, and, seriously, being able to see green every day in New York is such a luxury. Because it is a luxury, however, the prices of the apartments on the park are slightly pricier than the rest of Williamsburg which is already astronomical. But, the nice thing (besides the green) is that most of the apartment buildings on the park are quite new. A lot of people have a problem with that, but, personally, I have a problem with crappy, dark hell holes so different strokes I guess.
11th is close to the L train and close to Greenpoint but far enough from both that you're not being constantly inundated with bar crawlers and hipsters. There are a couple of spots on North 11th that are cool but this isn't really the street for bars and restaurants. Brooklyn Brewing Company is on North 11th but I've only been there a couple of times. It's not really a big deal, though, because there is so much to do that is so close. And, it's kind of nice that there isn't a lot of bar traffic on this street if you live here. The only problem with that is that it can be a little sketch at night because when there aren't people surrounding you, it's pretty easy to get robbed (especially around a park). But, hey, small price to pay, right?
The best thrift store shopping, in my opinion, is right on North 11th and Driggs. Buffalo Exchange, the weird home store below it and Beacon's closet are all right here. It's pretty awesome. I always find something at one of these stores and because you can trade in old clothes, you often pay nothing for your new items. How's that for cool?
North 11th is pretty hard to beat as far as Williamsburg living on / around the Bedford Stop goes. It's quiet compared to a lot of the area and it's a lot cleaner. It may get a little hairy, however, if you like to shop. If you can afford to live in one of the newer buildings around the park, I would totally do it.

"Pretty quiet, but recommended for younger residents"
North Eleventh Street is part of a great neighborhood – if you can find a place that has a decent rent, then it’s the perfect residential place (if you can take a little weekend party noise).
On this street is Eva’s Play Pups, a 24-hour daycare service for your dog (LOTS of people in this neighborhood have dogs for some reason, even dogs that seem too big for New York apartments).

"Cloth exchange and parks"
N 11th St is a street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It runs from Union Ave to the East River. I love to go to Beacon’s closet there. It is a clothing exchange store where you can sell and buy cloths, and find great deals. It is a quiet street where to live, close to the L train stop, Bedford Ave, and the two nice Williamsburg parks: The McCarren Park (great place for sport), and the park on the East River, which offers a great view of Manhattan.
