"will always be special to me"

Ocean Avenue will always have a special place in my heart because my daughter was born here, at the Brooklyn Birthing Center. The road runs from Sheepshead Bay up to Prospect Park. It’s a great street, with great housing and businesses. I’d probably prefer to live on a side street because of the traffic volume.

"dream street to live on"

This is a great street lined with wonderful apartment homes and it is very family oriented. I say this because it is like if you are going to visit a relative you have not seen for a while, even if you are just going to the local market. It is a great street but is also very noisy because of heavy traffic passing by so you would have to be tolerate of noise pollution.

"On Ocean Avenue"

Ocean Avenue is a quaint street in this nice section of Brooklyn. I like the Sheepshead Bay area which is filled with small businesses and friendly people. This section of the city is extremely quaint, and a nice oasis from the busy downtown area. Living in the borough is not only comfortable, but also extremely nice . I really enjoy the calmness and the serenity of Brooklyn and the family oriented nature of this area. All in all, a nice street in Brooklyn.

"A busy street lined with residential buildings"

My grandmother has lived on Ocean Avenue for quite a while and it is all in all a nice place to live. That is if you don't mind the noise of cars constantly zooming by. Buildings line Ocean Avenue on either side along with some nice restaurants farther south. Ginza Sushi on Ocean Avenue and Avenue X is one of my favorite sushi places in Brooklyn.

"A nice residential place to live in"

Ocean Avenue is a main street running parallel to the Coney Island Avenue. That was our next stop from Coney’s island. As I was walking down the street, all that I could see were beautiful buildings and residential apartments. Even the restaurants and hotels here looked similar to residential houses. Anytime you go to any restaurant, it feels as if you have come to some relatives place for supper. If I too had a million dollar fortune like those industrialist, I too would have bought a vacation home here. The weather is so pleasant, perfect for a family. Since it was only a day visit, I had to find some place to satisfy my hungry belly for which I found the W-Restaurant. Its name was strange and I too did not bother asking about its history coz my stomach was craving for food. All I had was a cup of sweet red wine and meat steaks. The prices are really high.
