"One of the quieter sides of Park Slope"
8th Ave is nowhere near the commercially trendy hub that is 5th Ave - or even 7th Ave - in the Slope, but there are a few brunch spots and tattoo shops and what have you on this street. More importantly, this street offers quiet apartments/brownstones away from the noise of the barhopping areas of this neighborhood. And more than that, it is another beautiful Park Slope avenue. So, if you are looking for a street that is close and yet removed from all of the action, you are likely to love Brooklyn's 8th Ave - at least the Park Slope version of the street.
Pros
- close to shopping, restaurants on 7th Ave
- quiet/clean/residential
- beautiful brownstones
Cons
- difficult to find a parking space
- lots of stroller action
- lack of parking

"The Chinatown in Brooklyn"
The 8th Avenue between around 40th Street and 70 Street is regarded as the China town of Brooklyn, just the Flushing in Queens but much more little area. Since there are a lot of small Chinese convenient stores selling sea food on this street so sometimes it is quiet smelly and dirty. On the other hand, there are also a lot of Chinese foods and supermarkets where the goods are much more cheaper than other neighbors and also you can find many Chinese Traditional stuff here. It is kind of packed on the 8th Avenue

"On 8th Avenue"
8th Avenue, near Greenwood Cemetary, is a nice street filled with small businesses and shops. I think that the street is very convenient and filled with a lot of wonderful things and a nice atmosphere. It's very well connected and in a nice section of Brooklyn, which is filled with a lot of nice people and is nearby other more interesting streets. All in all, this is a nice street in a wonderful neighborhood which should be considered on a move or even a visit to Brooklyn.

"Quiet street at south end of great neighborhood"
The bottom of 8th avenue is unique. It faces very little traffic because it is cut by the Prospect Expressway, making parking a breeze. I park directly in front of my apartment building 50% of the time, and 80% of the time I park right across the street. As far as safety, I feel safe about 75% of the time. Most of the streets are quiet, brownstone-lined family homes, with the exception of dicey Prospect Ave, where I have been catcalled more than I care to remember. I love the proximity to the Pavilion Theatre, Prospect Park, and all the restaurant choices that Park Slope is famous for. All things considered, this is a great street to live on.
