What's good here

  • Subway within a 10-minute walk

  • Plenty of places to buy food

    44 licensed food stores within a 10-minute walk.

  • Lively for eating out

    152 restaurants and cafés within a 5-minute walk.

  • Less violent crime than most areas we've checked

    10 violent felonies reported within 500 m over the last 12 months — lower than 82% of the areas we've profiled.

Reported crime is counted within 500 m over 12 months, from NYPD complaint data, and split into violent and property offences because busy commercial blocks record far more theft than quiet residential ones. We don’t reduce a neighborhood to a single score, and no apartment is ever hidden from you based on its area. Checked 17 days ago.
