In the next year I plan to move to Brooklyn. What is a good neighborhood in Brooklyn close to the City?
Neighborhood – Greenpoint
Greenpoint has some of the best public schools in the city, achieving high test scores and parent-satisfaction ratings, in spite of (or perhaps because of) its small population.It is slightly cheaper and safer than adjacent Williamsburg and has a respectable number of restaurants and bars.
Subway Stations
G to Nassau Ave.
G to Greenpoint Ave.
The rent:
Rent is about $2300 for a 1Bedroom Apartment, and only $2800/mo for a 2Bedroom Apartment. (Price indicates median values.)

Have lived in Greenpoint for about nine years. Greenpoint’s not exactly cheap.
Here are the best restaurants in Greenpoint:
Antek Restaraunt & Deli
Jagienka Restaurant
Lomzynianka
Restauracja Relax
Chinese Musician Restaurant etc…
The GPCH remains the best place to get a decent cup of coffee in Greenpoint.
