The Challenges of Moving to Midtown East:
Like many cities in New York, parking is often difficult to find in Flatbush. While there are conveniences of having a car, it is not completely necessary and it is not always recommended. An alternative to having a car is to have a bicycle, which you can purchase at any shops throughout Flatbush. Shops such as Burrowes Brothers Bikes, Monroe Ride Electric Bike, and J & Sen Motorsports, just to name a few. In addition, public buses such as the B41, B44, and B49 can be found everywhere on the streets. As for subways, there many stations for the 2 Train that takes you directly to Times Square, and the 5 Train that takes you directly to Grand Central.
