Williamsburg

By Kristina Misailova, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker, Compass

Energetic, creative, and waterfront, Williamsburg is one of Brooklyn's most dynamic markets for buyers and investors.

The character

A hub for dining, nightlife, music, and design, Williamsburg draws a younger, creative crowd and has transformed rapidly over the past two decades.

Housing stock

New luxury condos along the waterfront and converted warehouse buildings define the market, with the condo-heavy mix offering more flexibility for those who may want to rent out a home later. See co-ops vs condos for why that matters.

Getting around

The L train and the NYC Ferry connect the waterfront to Manhattan, with the G, J, M, and Z serving other parts of the neighborhood.

Who it suits, and the tradeoffs

Best for younger buyers, creatives, and investors who want energy and condo flexibility. The tradeoffs are reliance on the L for parts of the area and a fast-moving market.
