"Don't judge Beacon based on the city transplants!!"

Navite Beaconites are happy about most of the positive changes in Beacon, but are not happy with the fact that we are constantly being compared to Brooklyn. We don't feel this way, the influx of people from the city that are moving in are the ones trying to change Beacon and real estate agents trying to advertise Beacon as the "new Brooklyn", and they are both pricing the natives out! There are lovely places, people and things in Beacon, but the lack of respect shown to Beaconites by these transplanters is abundant. Rental prices are some of the highest around. You could locate a comparable apartment in a neighboring town for less with more. Although the town is dog friendly, just try to find a landlord that is! What people see on the surface of our town, is not how most native Beaconites view/feel things.
Pros
  • Gorgeous Parks
Cons
  • City people moving in and driving locals out
