Černá Pole (“black fields”) neighborhood is a part of Brno-sever district and offers a high quality of living. It is located close to the centre but most of its streets are quiet.
There are some great pubs and you can tell your friends that you live close to Villa Tugendhat, the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Way cool.
If you have enough money, buy a villa or a house there. Otherwise, why not to rent a small flat in Černá Pole?

Best restaurants and pubs
Betlém (27 Krkoškova st.) is not only the best restaurant in Černá Pole, it is one of the best restaurants in Brno, thanks to delicious meals based on the traditional Czech cuisine, great Dalešické beer, nice interior and above-average waiters. It offers the best fried potato chips in Brno.
U Lasa (110 Merhautova st.) is one of the few tap-your-own-beer pubs in Brno. A good thing is they close as late as at 2 a.m., a bad thing is that the quality of the beer (Starobrno) went down during last year.
Hluchá zmije (34 Jugoslávská st.) is an almost legendary pub with less known Czech beers on tap (Polička or Dudák anyone?).
U žíznivé opice (46 Merhautova st.) is a swinging wine bar, popular among students and other alternative souls. Speaking of alternative places: Traubka (8 Traubova st.) and Mýdlo (3 Traubova st.) are among the most important hubs of alternative culture in Brno.

I can not agree with bad quality of Starobrno beer. Especialy in U lasa pub, where you have a beer from tank. I would like mention a huge offer of typical beer snack too.
Starobrno beer was once great at U Lasa pub, but now it’s poor. I think they do not care properly about the tanks.
They may have beer snacks, but this pub is one of these where you can’t get even a little snack 2 hours before the restaurant closes because “the cook went home already”. By the way, this is among the most unbelieveable things about Czech pubs and I’m going to write a post about it soon :)
I would not say that Cerna Pole abound in shopping facilities – on the contrary, if you want to buy something to eat over the weekend or later at night and you live around Provaznikova, there is no convenience store to help you. The larger stores such as Albert will be closed during those times and Cerna Pole become thus a nice but life-less and sterile city district.
There are at least two small stores opened 24/7, located at Merhautova st. and Provazníkova st. — you can even buy fresh vegetables in the second one at 3 a.m.!
Just to add – Hlucha zmije is non-smoking pub
