So, I found what I think is a real gem; so good, I'm not putting its exact address up for fear someone else will snag it!
It's a 2-bedroom apartment, steps away from the 2 and 5 train lines, lots of closet space, and the building seems to be in immaculate condition.
"Oh, you don't want to live there," said a friend, when I told him the apartment was at the intersection of Nostrand and Flatbush Avenue. "There's a premium to not living in the ghetto," this person said.
Was I in the ghetto and not even realize it?
According to police crime figures for the neighborhood - the 70th Police Precinct, it's not that high, compared to the precinct where we live now, in the 67th Police Precinct.
Then again, gentrified neighborhoods do have a tendency to report everything, while plenty of things could go unreported in a community that's desensitized to crime.

Have you checked the buildings on argyle & westminster between dorchester & cortelyou? Their management company is DSJ Realty, LLC
ReplyDelete718-266-3700 - those apartments are fairly reasonably priced and nice sized - though there is a broker fee involved
All crime is underreported by NYPD. They have a vested interest in NOT taking reports, a practice that is very common with the 70th Precinct.
