What are some of the more decent areas of Brooklyn to live?
I am thinking and looking at Williamsburg. So far, that’s the only one i know of that happens to be safe and decent.
My school is in Greenwhich Village and I want the easiest access, without having to live in the city, because obviously i cannot afford it 
i’ve heard about park slope? is that any good?
also, i do not know too much about brooklyn, but i have heard there happens to be very shady areas. can you tell me the shady areas to stay away from!

I’ll be starting work in NYC (in the financial district) later this fall after I graduate. I’m trying to get advice on what area I should move to (I’ll be coming in from out-of-state). I’m considering living in Brooklyn instead of NYC in order to save some money.
Preferences:
-Rent no more than $1400/month
-No more than 20-25 min. away from the Financial District
-Safe area
-Possibly good shopping/interesting attractions
Right now it seems like Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and Bay Ridge are good options. I’m open to other suggestions.
Also, if you give any suggestions, can you please be specific about the particular areas (ex. stating street numbers) so I can know where to look for housing? I understand that some areas of a city can be shady while others are pretty safe.
Thanks in advance.
