Conservative neighborhood, must take the bus to the train to gain access to the city. Family friendly with local elementary, middle, and high schools.

Think it is a great place to raise a family and is pretty quiet relative to other areas of Brooklyn.

What I do like about Marine Park is that it has a huge park, allowing people to get fresh air and not have to go far to be satisfied with outdoor activities. While the neighborhood itself is very nice, it is not diverse at all, and I would love to see that happen.

I have lived in Marine Park for almost 8 years. It is safe neighborhood and everybody knows everybody which is what I like the most about it. I have met my closest friends in this neighborhood. My favorite part about Marine Park is that we are very patriotic. Driving down the street you will notice everyone has the American flag waving proudly outside their houses.
