Bushwick

Located on the eastern edge of Brooklyn, Bushwick offers a thriving art, restaurant and bar scene set against an industrial backdrop.

At a Glance

Bushwick has seen a lot of change over the years. In the early 1900s, it was known for its thriving distilleries and breweries. After those industries declined, it experienced a long period of blight through the 1970s and 1980s. Now the neighborhood is seeing a renaissance, as artists pushed out of Williamsburg and elsewhere move in and raise property values. Bushwick offers unconventional living spaces: The housing market is full of converted lofts in old factories, sometimes with great access to outdoor space.

Street art, graffiti and eclectic sartorial statements make up a classic Bushwick scene.

Industralized warehouses dot Bushwick’s landscape, and many have been converted into lofts, shops and restaurants.

Every surface is a potential canvas in this artistic neighborhood.

Right on the border of East Williamsburg and Bushwick, the McKibbin Street Lofts are famous for hard-partying tenants, but are comprised of unusual and sometimes quite spacious loft apartments.
