It&#x27;s a working class Caribbean neighborhood right now but was originally built as housing for middle-class Victorian clerics, so there&#x27;s a lot of beautiful but run down buildings &amp; great transport links (ie. ripe for gentrification).<p>In the 90s it was extremely rough (race riots), now it&#x27;s fairly safe and the artisanal coffee shops and trendy restaurants are creeping southwards as the city&#x27;s population continues to grow &amp; get priced out of other areas.<p>Guessing a flop house packed with affluent young tech bros is going to throw some gasoline on the Crown Heights hyper-gentrification fire, for better or worse.
