Junli shared his experience — if the town has 10% Chinese population, you will feel better. No need to live in a place with 60% Chinese population — probably a traditional shopping district (dirty) not great place to live.
I still prefer higher concentration of Chinese like Edison, Sunset Park and Flushing
My experiences:
· Boston Chinatown is #1 choice for my dear wife– clean, higher concentration
· Brooklyn Flushing Ave area has no Chinese on the street, only in my house and in Chinese restaurants. I felt isolated. But I actually feel this is not the #1 factor we didn’t feel good. Consider the dirty streets, the rundown buildings.
· Newport was very nice though Chinese concentration was perhaps 10%, but wife may feel all the Chinese there are white collar, and not her peers.
· White plains has even lower Chinese concentration, perhaps 1-3%, but clean and safe.
