The adjacent street, Garfield Ave, and Danforth are known for their 'realness'. You go down by these areas and if your not from around these parts u might just stick out like a sore thumb. I have grown up around here so I think its a fairly good neighborhood however between all the businesses and schools surrounding there are always teens and tweens hanging out making noise and being teens! So, if you dont mind the nosiness, this is just a place for you!

I love the busy life but then again multi tasking has ben a trait woman can uphold for far too long now... Despite that notion, this street is just too busy for me. Never a great spot for parking and IF you happen to catch one beware the neighborhood kids taking your antenna's or worse yet! There has been some construction going on this block for avout seven years now and they are just about half way causing no parking on one side of the street. Someone is ALWAYS double parked which makes your horn your best friend!

If you have ever been to this street, you know in a three block radius you have two laundromats, a fire house, Mid Town police station a SCHOOL and plenty of restaurant/bodegas. The only one bad thing I see constantly on this block, as I grew up here, is the fact that the school is constantly closing down the block due to school buses, fire drills, and entertainment for the kids so driving around is something a pain. Also, due to the amount of school teachers working there, there is NEVER parking, unless you have a drive way.
