Ditmas park Brooklyn. B and Q express trains into the city. Rentals aren't too crazy yet. If you have the money LES or Williamsburg if you don't mind the super morning commute crowds and lineups for every restaurant now.

We live in Park Slope We really like it.
Having a dog, the park is very handy.Street Easy and Padmapper were our go-to's.

I'd look into Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Prospect Heights - all are safe (Relatively speaking, of course), all are close to things to do/eat/see, all are close to Prospect Park/Brooklyn Museum/Brooklyn Library.
I moved to Crown Heights, which is just across the park from Park Slope, and so far I'm loving it. A bit cheaper, you'll get a bit more for your money (I have a 2br for $1500), not as soccer-mom/stroller-filled as Park Slope, still close to everything, safety factor may drop a bit.

for that price range i'd look into greenpoint, park slope / prospect heights, williamsburg (east of BQE), or even long island city. most people i know find astoria to be a bit far away/uneventful, and you can find similarly priced/safe apartments with quicker access to lower manhattan.
- good to know. thanks.akrokdesign

how bad is the area "Astoria"? finding 1bd from $1500 there.
- bad as in boring or bad as in dangerous?scenek

Streeteasy.com
the only place i would look is Streeteasy.com. BUT - AND THIS IS VITAL - click on 'advanced' when you search and then click on 'Has Address'. this means that that the apartment actually exists (as opposed to just being a posting from a realtor who is trying to make his company look good by posting great apartments at cheap prices)
its updated daily too. i dont think any other site has this and it means it cuts so much time chasing fake places.
its where i got my place about a month ago.
