Hi 
I am visiting friends who live in Brooklyn near Corteylyou
road station which neighborhood is this actualy in 
Please email me 
Many many thanks

This is in the Flatbush Section... Can be a lil dicey
sometimes

Cortelyou Road area safe in daytime, less so at night. Best
sections generally west of Ocean Avenue and south of Church
Avenue. Cortelyou Road itself is rundown yet surrounded by
beautiful expensive (over-priced?) homes. Apartment
buildings in the area can be a problem, particularly the
older walk-up buildings. 

Best to avoid Caton Avenue, Church Avenue, Flatbush Avenue,
and Ocean Avenue. Prospect Park is o.k. in daytime but the
south & west sides of the park along Prospect Park West is
much safer than the east & north sides along Parkside
Avenue.
