Neighborhood Profiles

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.

Brighton Beach

Brighton Beach stretches along Brooklyn's Atlantic shoreline with a housing stock that ranges from 1920s Art Deco apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway to postwar co-op towers and newer oceanfront condominiums. The B and Q trains run above Brighton Beach Avenue, providing direct service to Downtown Brooklyn, Midtown Manhattan, and connections across the system. The Riegelmann Boardwalk extends along the waterfront, connecting to Coney Island, while Brighton Beach Avenue below the elevated tracks forms the neighborhood's primary commercial corridor.
