Frequently asked questions
What trains stop at Gates Av?
Gates Av in Brooklyn is served by the J, Z trains on the MTA's daytime service pattern. The MTA does not list Gates Av as accessible. Check the MTA for late-night and weekend changes.
What is the area around Gates Av actually like?
Gates Av is in Brooklyn. Its entrances are inside 2 DwellCheck neighborhoods: Bed-Stuy and Bushwick. The station sits on a neighborhood boundary, so the blocks change character depending on which exit you take. Walk the area at different times of day before committing to a lease nearby.
How far should I live from Gates Av to still call it "near the subway"?
Most New Yorkers consider anything under a 10-minute walk to be "near" a station. Under 5 minutes is ideal. But the real test is the door-to-platform time — a building 3 minutes from the entrance can be several more from the platform if the station has long corridors or deep stairs. Visit at rush hour to time the actual commute.
Is it loud living near Gates Av?
The MTA lists Gates Av's structure as elevated, so trains run outside rather than in a tunnel and are audible to nearby apartments, especially those facing the tracks. Visit at rush hour and late evening before signing a lease nearby.
What kinds of apartments are available near Gates Av?
The apartment stock near Gates Av depends on which neighborhood you are in — Bed-Stuy and Bushwick have different building stocks. Browse by type (pet-friendly, rent-stabilized, doorman, studio, etc.) using the links below, or check a specific address for the full picture.
Should I choose my apartment based on the subway station or the neighborhood?
Both matter, but most longtime New Yorkers will tell you the station matters more for your daily happiness. A great neighborhood with a 15-minute walk to the subway gets old fast — especially in January or during a summer heat wave. Pick the station that serves your commute, then explore the neighborhoods within walking distance of that station.
