A melting pot from people of different backgrounds. Amazing food, decent parks, but it's very crowded. Parking is a problem and rent is becoming so high.

The view of New York City from here are great! Central Avenue is also full of restaurants, parks, and shops. I have lived there for most of my life, and I absolutely love it.

Quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, ideal for families. More and more options for bagel places, boutique cafes, especially over the last year. Love how friendly the neighbors are.
