is anyone familiar with the neighborhood just south of barclays center? i am interested in an apartment at Park Pl and 5th Ave but am concerned the area is seedy given its proximity to barclays. i assume it’s similar to living a few blocks south of penn station… is that more or less the vibe? thanks!

Seedy? Prob one of the areas with the highest rent in Brooklyn if not the city. Loads of restaurants and great transit options.

5th Ave is like restaurant row of Park Slope. You'll be on the edge, but just fine.

On 5th and Park it’s not bad at all and there’s a ton of good spots around. If you go to 4th that’s when it gets busy and a lot of loitering people. I’m a few blocks south of that in Park Slope.

+1 for park slope and 5th Ave being awesome. If you’re in the blue apts/closer to the 5th Ave corner on Park Pl, will note that key foods teardown and new apt building is starting construction here in the next couple months and will be big annoyance til 2024 ☹️

I lived on St. Marks around the time Barclays opened. It’s not seedy and nothing like the area around Penn. You do sometimes get crowds looking for bars/restaurants before or after events, but that’s about the extent of it.

We lived between 4-5th Ave close to park pl. if anything, I’d be more concerned about the noise level if you were to live on 5th. It’s all bars and restaurants! Also I’m old and have a baby so noise matters to me.

I live in the area. 5th Ave is busy and feels very safe. There are individuals and panhandlers that hang out on 4th but they are pretty harmless- I always see the same faces. There is also a good amount of foot traffic due to the Atlantic Terminal mall. Honestly Penn feels worse than Barclays does nowadays.

Im about 25% body fat in my 30s. I feel like I’ve lost muscle for all the cleanses and real low calorie intake I’ve done to lose weight. Is it ok if I try and bulk for a few month to gain some muscle back? I don’t mind if I look a little bigger. But then after I build some muscle I cut correctly.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
