<p>Greenpoint is in Brooklyn - not Manhattan. It is known as one of the safer, less expensive places to live. Lots of small apartment buildings and 2-3 family homes. Not great public transport…I think there’s just one subway line.</p>
<p>A fair number of “artsy” young people live there…but make sure your D can easily get to her school with public transport. There is limited subway access.</p>
