**Facts about Mill Basin**
-Schools in the area are among the best. For example P.S. 236, according to John T. Comer, superintendent of District 22. The school has ranked in the top 3 percent in reading and math citywide for the last two decades.
-The politicians that keep Mill Basin together constantly find ways to keep the young children occupied. We have many parks that include the 6.7-acre triangular Alex Lindower Park at Mill and Strickland Avenues, which recently underwent a $600,000 renovation of its playground, comfort station, ball field and warm-up equipment. Two 2.3-acre parks in Old Mill Basin are James Marshall Power Playground, at Avenue N and Utica Avenue, where adult softball teams compete, and Monsignor Crawford Athletic Field along Avenue U, which has two ballfields (one called Amity) where Little Leaguers gather.
-There are many different side stores and privately owned businesses where you can shop at, but Kings Plaza Mall is usually one of the favorites because of its location (Flatbush Avenue and Avenue U), and its vast amount of stores to choose from (130 stores) in its 1.1 milion square feet, with a dozen more expected to open.
**My Community Story**
-My experience in Mill Basin is a very positive one. I love living in an environment that is not too chaotic and is quiet at times, but also filled with children. It is sad to see that many gangs around the area are trying to destroy property because it is decreasing our property value. I would recommend anyone to invest in land in Mill Basin because it is a safe place to live.
In terms of safe, I mean that there is not a lot of hoodlums and thugs living in the area. Besides the neighboring Glenwood Projects trouble makers, we are living safely. Occasionally, there will be a spring of robberies to some homes in the neighborhood, but that does not happen often. If anything does happen however, there will be police patrolling the area, and in my opinion, that is because there are many Caucasian people, along with mansions in the area.
If someone was looking for a nice CLEAN place to start and raise a family, Mill Basin would be the perfect place because you can buy open lots to build your own house, or you can buy many new houses that are being built in the area. Also, a lot of the older houses are kept in good condition and the structure of them are very unique and might be just your taste of a house.
Around my area, especially on my block, there are many children (all of different ethnicities), and we are all about the same age; ranging from about 10 to 20. When we were younger, we used to play around with each other a lot, but as we got older, people started to drift away from each other and hang out with their friends in neighboring communities such as East Flatbush, Flatbush, and Canarsie because there was more to do.
**Things To Do**
In my community there are many things to do such as bowling, going to Kings Plaza Mall, visiting a big variety of public parks, and many more. A lot of kids like to go outside to play with their friends and a big favorite is water fights in the summer time. The people are friendly and the community children are like a big family.
