Neighborhood Profiles

DUMBO

DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) sits between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges along the East River waterfront, with a 95-building historic district of converted industrial warehouses. The housing market features spacious loft residences with exposed brick and high ceilings alongside modern luxury condominiums with skyline and waterfront views, served by the F train at York Street and the A and C at High Street. Brooklyn Bridge Park stretches along the waterfront with piers, playgrounds, and Jane's Carousel.

Gowanus

Gowanus features a striking mix of 19th-century brick warehouses, Greek Revival rowhouses, and new glass-and-steel condominiums rising along the canal waterfront. The F, G, R, D, and N/W trains are accessible at nearby Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street stations, with Atlantic Terminal a short walk north. Washington Park and the Old Stone House landmark anchor the neighborhood's green space, while a major rezoning is bringing thousands of new residential units and waterfront parkland to the area.
