"Not too friendly, but quiet"

This street gets a higher rating than perhaps the local real estate deserves because it is well paved - a rarity in this area of Bed-Stuy. There isn't much to this street. Where it meets Broadway you have on one side Woodhull Hospital (a place that many warn against ever going) and on the other the low income housing projects where rapper Jay-Z lived until he ran away from home, Marcy Projects.

The street is not by any means visually stunning, but like I said you can drive on it and in this neighborhood that actually counts for quite a bit. Though I do live nearby in Bushwick, I'm not sure that I would want to live this far south. In Bushwick there are bars and a bit of nightlife, but Bed-Stuy doesn't feature much of the same and Park Ave is no exception.
Pros
  • inexpensive rent
Cons
  • ugly
  • low income housing
  • unsafe
