"Great shopping spot without overwhelming gentrification"
With most of Brooklyn, you feel like you're fighting the effects of gentrification every time you try a new neighbourhood. Somehow, despite its length, the area around Kings Highway seems to maintain an 'old world' feel in the midst of the development all around it. If you're lucky enough to live near the west end, you'll find hundreds of shops, most local to the area to pick and choose from. A great way to get your fill of retail therapy without having to venture into Manhattan.
