- This is Brooklyn?
6) Bay Ridge
The Daily News said that Bay Ridge was the best place in Brooklyn to raise a child. We understand where the News was coming from, but we respectfully disagree. Not because we don’t think it’s an amazing place to live or to grow up. It’s pretty great! You’ve got Owl’s Head Park, which is insanely nice, and you’ve got the Norwegian Day Parade, so that’s cool. And there’s a good amount of affordable housing stock. So what’s missing? Well. Doesn’t it seem just a little too nice? A little too much like a suburb or something? If that’s how you want to raise your kids, that’s great. I mean that. It’s great. Probably very healthy. But maybe I’m just not the biggest fan of healthy. Sorry, Bay Ridge, this is as far as you go this time
