DUMBO

By Kristina Misailova, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker, Compass

Cinematic and compact, DUMBO pairs converted warehouse lofts with some of the best waterfront views in the city.

The character

Cobblestone streets, iconic bridge views, and a creative, tech-leaning community give DUMBO a distinct, design-forward identity right on the water.

Housing stock

Converted warehouse loft condos and newer waterfront developments lead here, with dramatic spaces and light. Co-ops are limited; this is largely a condo market.

Getting around

The F at York Street, the A and C at High Street, and the NYC Ferry make the short hop to Manhattan simple.

Who it suits, and the tradeoffs

Ideal for professionals who want loft space and views. The tradeoffs are a small footprint, limited inventory, and prices to match the setting.
