Other Brooklyn neighborhoods

Commute to downtown Manhattan or midtown?
Which neighborhoods in Brooklyn are of interest?

I think Atlantic Yards is the next big thing.

Gravesend -- a godsend!

Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill -- all a bit farther than BK Heights and Dumbo but quick commute into Manhattan

Clinton Hill to Flatiron - approx 45 mins depending on if you walk/bus to the Q (dekalb) or take the G/A/C combo. I've gotten to work in 30 mins flat when I've caught the bus, caught the Q, caught the R transfer - but that's a fluke.

Atlantic Yards / Pacific Park? Between BAM and Grand Army Plaza. Interesting - close to Atlantic Terminal for transport.
