East New York Ave
"an empty place"
the reason i titled my review this is because large chunks of east New York Avenue is empty. it is an post industrial area full of small empty buildings. because of so many empty buildings crimes take place quite frequently in the area. there isn't much of an night life since theres no nightclubs or bars in the area. they are supermarkets, day cares, and schools in the area so if your raising a kid it could be a good place to live (other than the crime). also, they're isn't any shopping centers near by you'll most likely have to go to kings plaza to buy stuff. it's nice in the daytime but once the sun falls get out fast.
Albany Ave
"A place with nothing to do."
Albany avenue is an average working class community with the things you expect in an neighborhood grocery stores, barber shops, and a few take out restaurants. There isn't any nightlife here at all so don't get your hopes up. there is a lot of traffic in the area so it can get loud at times. also there are a lot of shady characters in the area and I've witness people being robbed so it isn't the best place to go. theres a school nearby but i do not know if it is good or not. not the best place to go.
Whitty Ln
"a quite place"
This is a residential area. they're houses and that it seriously thats it. they're no restaurants, grocery stores, nightclubs nothing. it's right off of kings highway so it can get a little loud at times. it is a very safe and remote place i have never felt threaten walking around the area.

"A starter area"
I called Saratoga avenue a starter area because it is a place you would want to start off at when just arriving in Brooklyn. this is due to low rents and overall a low cost of living in comparison to other places in Brooklyn let alone Manhattan. it is a very urbanize place with a lot more apartment buildings than houses. if you know how to handle yourself you will not get into any trouble with the bad elements in the area mainly bored teenagers with nothing to do and the now and again druggie. they are plenty of places to buy food, clothes and even furniture. overall its a OK place to live but, you do not want to spend your entire life there.
Madison St
"it's ok if you know people and know the area."
Malcolm x blvd especially at the intersection of Fulton avenue isn't the best place to go if you don't know the area especially at night. they tend to be a lot of gang members( mainly bloods) standing around getting high and on multiple times I've seen people get beat up and rob. though it's a little rough it is a perfect place since the bus (b46) travel along the street and it's not far from the train station where the A and C train stops (Utica avenue). I've never had any problems there since i know many people in the area.
