Calhoun St, Williamsburg

Calhoun is a little whisp of a street that's just off a little park. I forget if the park is called Olive Park or Maspeth Park but I used to take my dogs here every other day when I lived in the neighborhood. The area surrounding the park is quiet and very neighborhoody but in a older sort of way. This street is a bit off the beaten path from all the bars, restaurants and general Williamsburg crowd. So, there's nothing to do on Calhoun aside from the park and a little coffee shop a couple blocks away. And, Calhoun is probably the least attractive out of all the streets surrounding the park.
The rent is definitely cheaper than a few blocks west at Graham and Metropolitan. But, you lose a lot of the younger sort of the neighborhood feel with not having any bars, music venues, restaurants or cafes. It's not a terrible place to live and it's close enough to all of the good stuff as well as to transportation. But, it's lacking in energy. And, it's a little too quiet at night for me to want to be walking home down this street.
