i moved to nyc year and a half ago and lookedd only in bburg and the slope.
williamsburg is ok... mind you "ok". its super hipster, full of jewish slumlords with dirty apts. there is really only one train that goes there and it is PACKED. people at work have to wait for 3 trains in the morning sometimes till they can squeeze in.
park slope is ok. full of soccer moms and lesbians. its pretty plesent, no night life. very safe. and somewhat clean.
i ended up choosing park slope.
i looked on craigslist for 5 days, full time looking at apts (both in bburg and slope). after 5 days (when i was supposed to fly back home) i went to brokers. for 2 days i went to brokers and found MUCH better places. i suggest a broker, its woth the extra money.
i have a pretty large space in the slope, elec included, with washer/dryer for 1400.
do yourself a favor and sell your car before you come. parking is terrible. maintainance is a pain. gas is rare. and insurance is rediclious.
