Bushwick

Bushwick is the epitome of Brooklyn cool, beloved for its thriving arts scene, colorful murals, creative energy, nightlife, and converted industrial spaces. The neighborhood has seen much change over the years, but its reputation for local watering holes and breweries dates all the way back to the early 1900s. Bushwick is now seeing a renaissance, as those seeking an edgier alternative to Williamsburg and elsewhere in north Brooklyn flock to the nabe. The local housing stock is full of unconventional living spaces: think converted lofts in old factories or warehouses, many with great access to outdoor space. As the neighborhood continues to grow in popularity, new rental developments and condo buildings are also common, but prewar walk-ups at reaonable prices remain readily available.
