About Gowanus

Centered around the famous Gowanus Canal, Gowanus is one of Brooklyn's most one-of-a-kind neighborhoods where industrial heritage meets a thriving arts, food, and residential scene. The nabe has transformed former warehouses and factories into art galleries, breweries, creative workspaces, and acclaimed restaurants while retaining its distinctly edgy character. Located between Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, and Boerum Hill, Gowanus offers easy access to brownstone Brooklyn as well as Manhattan while carving out an identity all its own. Residents can enjoy an eclectic mix of independent businesses, live music venues, climbing gyms, and waterfront activities, from canoeing on the canal to exploring architectural salvage shops. New residential and commercial development continues to reshape the neighborhood, bringing new housing, businesses, and public spaces while preserving its characteristic industrial vibe. For New Yorkers seeking creativity, culture, and an area in the midst of transformation, Gowanus offers a unique and exciting place to call home.
