Top neighborhoods in Brooklyn

  • Bedford-stuyvesant

    Bedford-stuyvesant

    What it’s like to live in Bedford-stuyvesant

    Beyond the hype, Bedford-Stuyvesant offers what's increasingly rare in Brooklyn – actual community where neighbors know each other's names. The neighborhood's stunning brownstones often contain surprisingly affordable apartment units with architectural details you'd pay millions to own – intricate woodwork, pocket doors, and decorative fireplaces that actually work. Unlike the sterile sameness of luxury developments, rentals here have character reflecting generations of careful stewardship. The A/C trains provide express service to Manhattan, while the neighborhood's commercial strips support Black-owned businesses from bakeries to bookstores. For best value, look east of Malcolm X Boulevard, where beautifully maintained blocks offer comparable housing stock at lower prices than western sections. Just know street cleaning regulations – longtime residents can point out which side to park on which days to avoid tickets.

    What it’s like to live in Flatbush

    Caribbean energy pulses through this enclave where the Labor Day Carnival's sequined masqueraders spill onto Church Avenue. Renters prize pre-war apartments with original parquet floors but face 45-minute subway commutes to Manhattan. The hidden gem? The Caton Market's Guyanese pepperpot soup available only on winter weekends.

    What it’s like to live in Bushwick

    Creative energy pulses through Bushwick, where industrial spaces repurposed as lofts and galleries attract artists priced out of Williamsburg. The L train provides Manhattan access alongside emerging restaurants and nightlife options on Wyckoff and Wilson Avenues. Though some blocks remain in transition with varied commercial development, the neighborhood offers genuine creative community at rental rates significantly below neighboring Williamsburg despite similar artistic character.
