Red Hook

One of the city’s last bastions of aging industrial architecture and open space, Red Hook is equal parts rugged and forlorn and unexpectedly creative and beautiful.

At a Glance

Dominated by looming shipping container cranes and former warehouses, Red Hook wears its rough-hewn industrial past on its sleeve. There’s no denying it: Red Hook has had a gritty history, in large part exacerbated by its relative isolation from the rest of the city. Although getting to Red Hook remains tough and transportation options remain few, the neighborhood is becoming increasingly popular with artists, innovators and creative types. Those who come are rewarded by Red Hook’s amazing sunsets and harbor views, its singular brand of rustic beauty, and its refreshing sense of undeveloped expanse.

The Mood

Despite its quiet, aging facades, Red Hook brims with creativity. The neighborhood is full of unexpected entrepreneurship and innovation.

Heart of the Neighborhood

On Van Brunt Street, you’ll find the neighborhood’s quirky mix of local dives, artisanal pie shops, and galleries.

Neighborhood Quirk

Red Hook is unlike any other neighborhood in the city. No place else will you find its unpretentious mix of Brooklyn artist chic and decaying maritime infrastructure.

Best Perk

Red Hook remains relatively untouched by development and has not been overrun by an influx of new residents and money.

Biggest Downside

Red Hook is isolated. There are few transportation options, and those that are there are not terribly convenient.

By the Numbers

Red Hook does not offer much by way of new development or luxury apartments and inventory tends to be low, which can drive up prices for the few available sales and rental units.
