Would that area be considered Flatbush?

I would go with Midwood Section, possible Homecrest.

I would go with Midwood Section, possible Homecrest.

That's a tough call because this location is just south of Midwood, northwest of Homecrest and inside of the Gravesend 11223 zipcode.

Agreed.  Sometimes when I am asked what neighborhood, I would rather not answer.

I agree. The better known areas are used generically often times. People don't generally say I'm from Gravesend - they're usually more inclined to say Flatbush since it more recognized. Like in the frontier in Queens they don't say Auburndale or Oakland Gardens - they say Bayside
