manofelt should change his/her handle to "moronofelt". Marlborough Road house (do know the owners, full disclosure..) is not particularly close to Cortelyou and there is NO train noise. I have spend many a wonderful evening in that big beautiful backyard and have never heard anything is except the purring of their housecat. But I will say that many a jealous Manhattanite has remarked how much closer a WALK to the subway station this home is to their own walk to the subway. Jeez, they say " I thought you lived out in the 'burbs here". How come it only took me twenty minutes to get here from sixth floor walk-up in the East Village? Three entire floors AND easy access to Manhattan? I hate you!!"
Yes, that's usually what they say after they come a visitin' to our hood. Right after, "I didn't even know this neighborhood existed!" Which may or may not be supplemented with: "...until New York Magazine voted that place (The Farm on Adderly) best french fries."
