it's not as nice as the block to the east
no but really, it's a nice neighborhood, close proximity to many parks and some great restaurants.
the only bad things might be that you are a little close to 52nd street and many take-out beer stores and the fact that the Third World Lounge is located on Catharine so I often witness cars speeding west on Catharine (probably a lot of drunk drivers) in the wee hours of the morning.
