Is Park Slope safe?

Park Slope is consistently ranked among the safest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Patrolled by the 78th Precinct, it sees far lower rates of serious crime than the borough average, and its tree-lined, well-lit residential streets and strong sense of community make it especially appealing to families. The blocks between Prospect Park West and Seventh Avenue are among the most sought-after in all of New York. Safety is one of the core reasons Park Slope commands the premium it does, and it is one of the first questions buyers ask before making an offer here.
