"The center of the center"
Stuyvesant Oval is a walkable oval at the center of the Stuy Town housing complex. There are apartment buildings surrounding the oval and though there's a lot more foot traffic milling about outside those buildings, there's also no street traffic and it's, obviously, more centrally located and protected I guess. And, it's very green right here so the buildings surrounding the oval would probably be my first choice if I were looking for a place here.
The oval also holds a rec center with a pool table, wifi, a tv and couches. They have wine tastings there and residents can use it to have parties. The Stuy Town gym is also at the oval as is, I believe, the parking structure and the rental office. There's a lot going on right here but it's definitely quieter than being street side.
The apartments are really nice and a one bedroom around the oval is about $3300 / month. It's steep but there are a lot of amenities and these are some of the biggest apartments I've seen in apartment remotely close to this price range.

"The Center of Stuyvesant Town"
Stuyvesant Town is one of New York City's massive apartment projects in lower Manhattan that has thousands of residents living in one of the many high-rise apartment buildings. Another one of the few remaining rent-controlled complexes, finding an available apartment in one of the buildings will be difficult, since once people move in, they rarely move out, and find ways to pass the apartment lease on to their family members. The apartments here are relatively spacious and clean and the rents are extremely affordable for New York City. Stuyvesant Circle is the street that is smack dab in the middle of this complex, and you can usually find lots of people walking around the circle or the other paths, since it is good exercise. Close to schools and medical facilities, Stuyvesant Town apartments is a great place for families. Shopping and some restaurants are on the adjacent avenues, but you will most likely need to go further uptown for serious shopping.
