I lived in the area for ten years. Gentrified-ish but sort of low on amenities. Generally safe.
Not a lot of bars/restaurants in the IMMEDIATE area — you’ll need to walk down Tompkins or over to Nostrand or Bedford to do anything, but there’s a lot of good stuff (Warude, Lovers Rock, Peaches, Chicken Feastin, Do or Dive, Pilar, Shipwreck, 750 Myrtle). Von King park is charming and a good place to hang out. The public pool is invaluable on hot summer days.
Buy earplugs. Summer nights are filled with great music but parties tend to run late.
I sincerely miss U Like Chinese and Willoughby General, on opposite corners of Marcy/Willoughby.
Well, re: transport — the G train is it. That’s it unless you want to hike to the M at Flushing Ave or the J at Myrtle Broadway (😬). It’s a reliable train during rush hour. Otherwise it’s an area well served by buses.
3200 for a 1bed in the area feels abnormally high unless your building has major amenities. My old apartment (pre war stabilized 1bed w/dishwasher) was renting for about 1800 a few months back, and even that was on the cusp of being a bit too much for the area IMO.

Pretty nice and gentrified.

I live in Clinton Hill just over from this area and it sounds way cooler than my sleepy hood! Ugh I need to move.
