Is Bushwick safe?

Bushwick has changed dramatically over the past two decades and much of it is now considered reasonably safe, though as a large, evolving neighborhood, conditions vary block by block. Its rapid transformation into an arts-and-nightlife hub has brought heavy foot traffic, new businesses, and a younger population to many areas, while some industrial and outer blocks remain quieter. As with any city neighborhood, awareness after dark is sensible. Many buyers and renters find Bushwick's more active, creative sections comfortable and improving steadily.
