What station/ stop or Terminal would you live near?
If money (or schools or family obligations either) wasn't an object and you could could buy a 2 BR apt anywhere in NYC strictly for being able to ride the Subways whenever you wanted where would you buy? There are a lot of good reasons to be in a lot of neighborhoods and whether you wanted to be near one of the yards might influence your decision. Favorite lines might also affect your choice. If it were me I would buy in Prospect Heights or Ft Greene in Brooklyn, as close to Atlantic and Flatbush as possible. From there it would be a short walk to almost any service:
: Atlantic Ave : Lafayette : Pacific St : Fulton St : Pacific St : Atlantic Ave : Pacific St : Atlantic Ave : Atlantic Ave : Atlantic Ave : Atlantic AveIf you were the type of person who didn't mind walking a little You could also catch: : Hoyt/ Schemerhorn ( & also) : Smith/ Bergenand maybe even the Franklin Av Shuttle ![]() you also would have the bonus of the Atlantic Ave LIRR and be within walking distance of the Transit Museum. Really the only services you wouldn't be close to (aside from the Times Square and Rockaway Shuttles, would be the , , / and ![]() Times Square would be a good choice but I wouldn't want to live in that amount of congestion. (Ditto for Chinatown, lots of choices on Canal St but too crowded). Coney Island would give you 4 routes to Manhattan and the yards but no IRT. The Village, just north of the Washington Square Arch would probably be my 2nd choice with W4th St ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() and Sheridan Square IRT![]() ![]() Express & local. In good weather you could also walk to Union Square for the ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() plus you get the bonus of the PATH at W 9th St. |
