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.
