Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Park Slope, Brooklyn

For some time I’ve wanted to get my own apartment, and since everything is so expensive in Manhattan, I’ve been trying to learn more about neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Park Slope is probably #1 on my list right now. I used to visit there when Mark and Wendy lived there*, but a recent visit by myself to explore the neighborhood confirmed it’s #1 status.

Things I like about Park Slope

• it’s close to Prospect Park
• it’s quiet (in comparison to Manhattan)
• the streets are shaded with trees and lined with brownstones, quite charming
• the avenues are a mix of mom & pop shops, cafes, boutiques, restaurants and bars

So.. if anyone has any leads on any studio or 1 bedroom apartments in Park Slope, please pass them on. Oh, and other Brooklyn neighborhoods that I am considering are Fort Greene, Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Carroll Gardens, but I need to do more research on each of these areas. Any other suggestions?

* Earlier this week, a journalist contacted me trying to get Mark & Wendy’s phone number. She was writing a story for the New York Post about people moving from Park Slope, Brooklyn to Montclair, NJ and wished to speak to them. She found out about their move via my website. Wendy was interviewed and the article should be in the real estate section either this weekend or next.

Update: Here’s the article.
