its a 2-fare zone....public transportation does suck around there but i think its a good opportunity for a 1st time middle income homebuyer. every apt. has a balcony i think thats cool. then u got gateway center right there for all your shopping needs. but to buy out here i think a car is essential.

this isnt prospect-lefferts gardens...i would call this neighborhood either east flatbush or wingate...either way west of nostrand is flatbush and the area aint all that hot. but i would seriously consider something like this if i had the money to fix it up. train station is steps from your house.

Bob Marvin,
I stand corrected. But that particular intersection (Nostrand and Winthrop) doesn't have a PLG feel to it in my opinion. I associated PLG with areas such as Flatbush and Winthrop, Bedford and Rutland, etc. I now see the boundaries are clarkson, ocean, empire, and ny ave. so its right near the border i guess.
