I have friends in Windsor Terrace and I like the neighborhood a lot. Can't beat the access to the park. But everyone I know who lives there practically has to whisper and tiptoe to avoid disturbing neighbors. I guess that's why I would eventually need a loft type of situation.

Speaking of which - when you guys mention "dorms" in Bushwick or whatever do you mean loft spaces without room dividers?

Thanks again for all the replies. This has been informative!
