Information About the Area from our Experts
Public Transportation
Local Guide - Real Estate Agent
Brooklyn is part of the New York City metropolitan area, which has the highest rate of public transportation riders in the country, by far. Over 50 percent of New Yorkers take public transit to work every day; by comparison, other cities consider their rate high if it’s over 15 percent. So if you rent in Brooklyn, it doesn’t matter if you need to travel to the other boroughs every day for work or another reason. There will absolutely be a way to get there provided to you through public transportation. There are dozens of NYC bus and subway lines that run through downtown Brooklyn, and the Long Island Rail Road commuter rail also has a stop in the neighborhood.

Brooklyn used to be separate from New York City, and if it still was today it would be the fourth largest city in the United States. With a population of 2.5 million, Brooklyn has just a couple hundred thousand less people than Chicago. So that definitely gives you an idea of how large Brooklyn is. And with the borough’s rich history in every facet of culture, including music, art, sports, education, and film, it could definitely stand on its own. If you rent here, you’ll definitely get the feeling that Brooklyn is autonomous. There’s nothing wrong with this; the opposite, actually. A lot of people rent in Brooklyn to be close to Manhattan, but end up falling in love with Brooklyn itself. I would definitely recommend living here, and fortunately there are a lot of apartment listings to choose from.
Economy and Jobs
Local Guide - Real Estate Agent
Brooklyn’s business district is often overlooked because neighboring Manhattan is home to Wall Street and a world famous financial district. However, if you exclude these areas, Brooklyn’s business center is the largest in the city. Overall, downtown has received millions of public funds and billions of private donations towards improvements, which has greatly benefited the economy here. The area that represents business most in downtown Brooklyn is probably the MetroTech Center, which houses a number of high-profile companies like Bear Stearns, JPMorgan Chase, Blue Cross Blue Shield, National Grid, and others. In fact, it’s the biggest urban science and technology park in the country. Many young professionals who come to the city think that they have to work in Manhattan, but Brooklyn is a growing example of why this simply isn’t true.
Nightlife

A lot of my past clients who found rentals in Brooklyn planned on commuting to Manhattan on the weekends, because naturally when you think of New York City nightlife that’s the first thing that comes to mind. However, most of them told me that they were finding so much culture right in Brooklyn. The most iconic part of Brooklyn’s nightlife is probably Coney Island, with its boardwalk and amusement park (you would recognize the ferris wheel if you saw it). The New Jersey Nets recently moved their franchise to Brooklyn, and will play the 2012-2013 season at their new stadium here. The area is also home to the second-largest museum in the country, the Brooklyn Museum, and one of the most famous venues in the world, the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Overall, I’d say it stacks up favorably to Manhattan.
