Fort Greene- AY impact
Brownstoner Forum
I am sorry for posting about this if this is old news but I'm really hoping to get some honest insights and info. My husband and I are just starting to consider FG in our home search and I'm trying to learn more about it.
I was wondering what people thought about the AY impact specifically on FG.
After a slew of comments and concerns about traffic, public transportation crowding, loss of light and noise, the user who made the original inquiry concluded:
We are primarily interested in places that are in the AY footprint b/c that same footprint is the most convenient to the Atlantic Ave subway station, which we'd really like to be close to. My husband works in midtown and commute is very important to us. We strongly considered a house on St. Marks a few months ago and did a thorough AY impact analysis (personalized to us, I mean) and in the end, we decided it was wasn't going to bother us. However, the FG side of AY is more heavily impacted by lost sunlight and that's what I'm really trying to understand and evaluate.
