While there are several places named Gravesend, this definition pertains to the neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y. of that name.
Gravesend in Brooklyn isn't quite a "hole", but it's not a very exciting place either. From the perspective of a resident and also of a somewhat-youth, probably the only things that are useful about Gravesend are its endless 99 cent stores and discount stores, and its convenient closeness to Coney Island. Besides those things, Gravesend is depressingly average.
There is not as much crime here as in other neighborhoods in N.Y. In the past few years, there have been a few shootings (most unfortunately), some stabbings, and a whole bunch of potential rapists (watch out for them!!), but it could be a lot worse.
The population of Gravesend was very Italian but is slowly becoming predominantly Asian.

Well, first off, you don’t live in SE London you absolute neek. You are from Kent. Stop putting ‘SE London’ in your Instagram bio. Same goes for the yutes out in Bromley, Dartford and Orpington. Stfu.
Gravesend in itself is a shitpit and breeding ground for 11 year old wanna be Jack Grealishes that think theyre going to be the next big thing, all because they won their Primary school football interhouse and asked their barber for a haircut like Grealish. Slim chance. These are the sort of kids that hang around their local Tesco acting all big with their BMXs that their mum got them for Christmas.
Despite the council’s efforts to improve this town, hanging up a few flags in town doesn’t make much of a big difference. Half of the town has been neglected with unfinished or abandoned buildings— shoutout to the hospital. They are either used by 14 year olds ‘explore’ so they can post it onto their private sc story and act so quirky, or by 17 year old dealers that come along wiv the occasional graffer.
The thing this town hates the most is a local Graff artist that goes by ‘Nugs’. Legend has it, Nugs pissed on someone’s grandma! How scandalous! This hatred is displayed widely throughout the Gravesend region and is noticed by many civilians. (PS. There’s a piece by Nugs that’s unruined on the A2)
The only thing this town is known for is Pocahontas and actors on TV soaps, such as Eastenders or Coronation Street.
All in all, Gravesend is your standard British town.

An area in south-west Brooklyn which is a small part of the Lower New York Bay.
The area begins at Sea Gate (Coney Island peninsula), and ends at the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
The Bay is a popular spot for active people because there is a water-walk where people can run, bike, blade, or just stroll around on a nice summer's day.
The spot is also particularly popular because of Ceasers Bay, which includes many chainstores like Toys'r'us, Kohl's, Modell's, Best Buy, as well as a few eateries.
