Would we have to travel to another neighborhood to get our weekly orders? |
We have a small kosher supermarket, the Shuk. We use them weekly, but we still do a large shop at Moisha's once or twice a month for meat and other items that are well priced. Kosher Palace delivers to the area, too, and I believe Moisha's does but I'm not certain since we like picking out items in person.

I just want to comment on this. The neighborhood is not mostly israeli or chabad. There are a lot of israelis, but they aren't a majority. There are tons of non jews, too. There are chabad houses, but generally not many chabadniks; I'd say they're an extreme minority. Aside from the secular israeli constituency, the breakup is largely traditional carpathian jews, modern orthodoxy, and a bunch of people who are jpf and don't label themselves.
Each block has its own flavor and everything in the Mill Basin area is walkable, so if you find something in your budget, I'd go for it. One caveat: verify from someone in the know that it's really in the Mill Basin area and not Old Mill Basin or Flatlands, if that's not what you're looking for. There were some cutoffs that I used when looking for a house after renting in the area for many years.

You're right. I overgeneneralized. I'm buying before Ralph which I think over there is considered Flatlands.

Amazing. If you feel comfortable, do you mind posting or pming me which block? I've been saying for years that flatlands will eventually fill in with frum jews. I wish I had the money to invest, and I know people who might be interested in buying. Cheaper housing, close to shuls and to Flatbush, within the eruv; it's a perfect location.

If you look at a map, you can see the actual peninsula that's definitely considered the basin. Outside of that, I'd say mill Ave until e. 69th, and east of veterans Ave. Bergen Beach is north of 69th, and Georgetown is from the intersection of Ralph and bergen outward until Ave n and ralph and then up from Ralph until bergen Ave (the blocks are slanted). These areas are all pretty nice, and Georgetown and mill basin have the larger presence of frum families, although as I've said before, everything is walkable in the area.
Between Flatbush and mill Ave from u to maybe O is considered old mill basin and then past O below Ralph Ave is flatlands. There are some frum people in old mill basin and flatlands, but you'd be more of a pioneer.

Thanks for this information, Nicole!
Is Flatlands a ''safe'' neighborhood? Would my teens be safe to walk home late at night, or is that too risky?

Updates???
Supposedly, more frum families are supposed to be moving into the area. I know that many families were definitely interested but I haven't personally heard anyone specific that actually moved.

Any further updates? I’ve seen some homes for sale near Flatbush Av, south of Kings Highway is this area getting Jewish? My kids have some friends in the 20s and 30s but we can’t afford to be on that side of Flatbush Av. Where are the Shuls? We are Ashkenazi MO, old school Young Israel style, very live and let live. Our kids go to Yeshivah of Flatbush just for reference.
