Midwood
Located in South Central Brooklyn, Midwood is perhaps best known as the home of the Brooklyn College campus of the City University of New York. The neighborhood's quiet ambience has made it a culturally diverse neighborhood for recent immigrants as well as longtime city residents looking for suburban calm and family-sized homes within the city's boundaries. The neighborhood is mainly made up of privately-owned single family homes—including large Victorian houses, Queen Annes and Colonial revivals on spacious lots, many with driveways—though there are plenty of apartment buildings–both old and new–on the major streets.
You'll find great bakeries, delis and other specialty stores along the bustling commercial strip of Avenue J, and DiFara's Pizza (at East 15th Street) has been named by the 2008 Zagat Survey as "The Best Pizza in NYC." Pomegranate, a 20,000 square foot natural and kosher food and specialty produce emporium recently opened here, on Coney Island Avenue. The nearby college also offers community residents a membership program for use of its library, athletic and arts facilities.
The Q subway, which runs through Downtown Brooklyn to Manhattan makes Midwood convenient, and there is abundant street parking, making car ownership here easier than many city neighborhoods.
