To Do, Eat and Buy
Brooklyn Bridge Park, spanning the entire length of the neighborhood along the bank of the East River and extending north to Dumbo, offers picture-perfect views of lower Manhattan from grassy lawns, piers, and promenades as well as sports facilities that include a roller rink. On summer evenings the park hosts outdoor concerts and movies.
The lifestyle here is upscale, yet relaxed. Commercial establishments are centered mainly on Montague Street. Cafés, restaurants, and wine bars cater to the neighborhood’s discerning clientele. High-end retail chains share blocks with local boutiques.
Pricey Digs and Class
Besides a very few luxury developments at its edges, housing stock is mainly single family or converted historic townhomes and mansions. Residents are mostly families and affluent professionals who can afford the hefty price tags, which rival the price of real estate in many Manhattan neighborhoods.
Commuting is a breeze by way of the many subway lines that pass through or are immediately adjacent to the area.
