"A spectral range of residencies"
Toward the southern end of this street - where Humboldt ends meets Flushing - there are mostly just a lot of housing projects, which seem to have a bit of a range when it comes to the income of the residents. Bushwick Houses, a low income housing project, are at the end of the street.
The upper end of the street features residential houses and apartments - and the closer you get to the L train, the more gentrified the neighborhood becomes. In short, this street ranges from okay to not-so-great. One of the bad Chinese places I often order from is on this street, though I wouldn't recommend anyone else try it. Bushwick residents just take what we can get when it comes to Chinese food.

Humboldt St
"Nice residential street"
Humboldt Street is mostly a residential place although there are a few factories on the Greenpoint side. Huboldt is one of the longest streets I know, it goes from Greenpoint all the way to Williamsburg. The whole street is made up of houses and residential buildings. Not too many stores here except for a few deli places and fruit stores. The Williamsburg side is more lively though. Great place to live for anyone-familes, elderly, young people. Close to churches, schools and parks. A few blocks away are bigger stores and a bigger variety of places to go to. Nightlife is walking distance and it is about half-an-hour train ride from downtoen Manhattan.

"On Humboldt Street"
Another great street here in Williamsburg. I think that there are a lot of great things to look for on this street. You'll find a lovely bakery on the corner of Humboldt and Poland Avenue (Old Poland Bakery) and some other great restaurants throughout the neighborhood. . This is a great neighborhood and one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city currently, especially for young people and young families.
