Hey, as you know, I'm a middle aged homebody too! And I live in ... Brooklyn. My block is pretty quiet, for the most part. Tree lined. Nice houses and buildings. And less than 6 miles riding (mostly on separated paths and bike lanes) to my office in downtown Manhattan. And I know you know this as well, but remember it's a very diverse city. If you can plan out where you live in relation to where you work, you can have that nice quiet block with a comfortable commute, too. I sure do.
