New York Car Rentals and Park Slope Neighborhood

The people who live in Park Slope are mostly those that were part of the fuel for the economic boom of the 1990s. Many of them moved from the Upper West Side and continue to inhabit the area around the park. Most of the dwellings are townhouses, but many of them need a little work before they are really up to the standards of the neighborhood. There are also a number of one- and two-bedroom apartments.
