What Grade Would You Give South Slope?

If someone curious about the neighborhood asked you if South Slope was “a nice place,” what would you say? What if, more specifically, you were asked to give it a grade A+ through F? Neighborhood Appeal is hoping to answer such questions for prospective residents, as well as give current residents a chance to chat about local goings-on, with their new grading system and forums.

Neighborhood Appeal has given every zip code in the US a letter grade based on scenic beauty, crime, weather, and air pollution, but it’s up to folks who actually live in those zips to change their rankings and/or provide more in-depth info.  As of right now, both of the zip codes in our area (11215 and 11232) have been given B’s – but if you think that’s BS (see what we did there?), put in your two cents!

The folks behind the site want to see your local pride, but hope that even a low grade can be a way to bring around positive change. And when you’re done with your report card, you can use the site to do everything from posting curb alerts to finding a running buddy.

Whereabouts do you live in the area, and how would you rank it?
