About my neighborhood

My teacher asked to write a informal text describing my neighborhood using prepositions of location. I'll be thankful if you help me correcting it.

One of the things I like most in NYC is my neighborhood. I have been living in Brooklyn Heights for 1 year, and I can say that I fell in love with it from the first week living in this area. The first thing I noticed was how pretty the neighborhood looks. After that, I felt a nice atmosphere of safety and cool community where people always say "good morning" and seem kind and calm. At the end, I was pleased to know how much stores, coffee shops and supermarkets are around.
In front of my building there is a wonderful view of Manhattan, and if you feel like walking, there is a beautiful park across the street. Inside the park there are jogging tracks, trees, lakes, children playgrounds, and a big green lawn area. You also can reach the Brooklyn Bridge and get to Manhattan by walking through the bridge. Behind my building there are a lot of brick buildings where the streets are made of cobblestone which is very charming. Three blocks away, there is a street full of restaurants, coffee shops and nice stores. Across the street there is a big drugstore, a bank and a supermarket at the corner. Sometimes, when I am willing to walk a little bit more, I go to Bergs Avenue to Trader Joe's market. I can also find a knitting store, a vegetarian restaurant, and an affordable gym. All this in the same area.
Another thing I really like in my neighborhood is that it is near subway stations. The stations provide a access to different lines all the time, which is great because I have 2 or more options to go wherever I want.
As I've shown, there are many things I love about my neighborhood. In conclusion, I can say that the place where I live has the calm and the peace from a small city and it is just 10 minutes away from the most cosmopolitan city in the world.
