Greenpoint

Location: Northwestern Brooklyn. In fact, Greenpoint sits exactly in the North-Western corner of Brooklyn. To the north lies the borough of Queens, to the west - the East River.

Character: Those wishing to live in Williamsburg but unable to swing the increasing rent costs have formed a new colony in Greenpoint. Slightly northeast of Williamsburg, Greenpoint is a short walk from the Bedford L stop and worlds cheaper.

A functioning Polish neighborhood, many stores and ethnic shops feature only Polish signs and wares. Most streets are nice and have a neighborhoody feel, with a small industrialized section. Also McCarren park is huge, lush and great for a picnic.

Apartments & Real Estate

Apartments are generally in older houses, like Williamsburg the electricity can be shotty, but you definitely get more for your money in Greenpoint. Apartments are slightly bigger, but also really old - older moldings, woodworking, etc which can be quite nice.
