    "For over 20 years of living in Windsor Terrace I have witnessed People from outside the neighborhood bringing their children to Trick Or Treat alongside the kids from our neighborhood. Living in Windsor Terrace feels like living in a pedestrian friendly suburb 3 blocks away from Prospect Park and NYC living. I would move if I could find a better place to live. "

    "I have been here for almost two years now and love how family oriented it is. The buildings have so much old Brooklyn charm without looking like expensive Brooklyn Heights. I am an adventurous eater and will try all the new food trends and that doesn’t really happen here. For exotic fusion food, I have to go to Williamsburg or lower Manhattan for it. "
