Courtyard view

I have decided to *try* something new.  We’ll see how it goes. I am going to post “Family Flats” every week. These are apartments and houses either for rent or sale that are “family friendly.” Family friendly to me means: 1 or 2 bedrooms, safe neighborhood and family friendly neighborhood. That’s my only criteria right now.

Today, I am posting about a 2 bedroom on historic Clinton Avenue, right off Myrtle Avenue. This is in Clinton Hill.
