Our Take
Clinton Hill offers a vibrant Brooklyn vibe with solid bike paths and decent schools, but errands usually need a car and traffic can be heavy. Rent and home prices are on the higher side, and noise from the city can be a bother for some. If you’re comfortable with a car and can handle the cost, it’s a viable option.
