"Bye Bye Manhattan"

Having spent my entire life in Manhattan, I was reluctant at age 50 to cross any bridge. However I found the new condominium developments in Williamsburg offer space, value, and tax-abatement that the co-ops and condos in Manhattan couldn't come close to. Plus, the new buildings are incredibly dog friendly, as is the neighborhood in general which mattered to me. The waterfront area is now developed and being built up fast. I walk from the L stop to my place on the water and always feel safe.
Plus the East River Ferry is a great option for getting to Wall Street or Midtown and another plus to being close to the waterfront. Add to this great restaurants (with better prices than Manhattan for the most part) and I think you have an all around great place to live.
I wouldn't go back across the river to live if you paid me!!!
Pros
  • Waterfront piers now parks
  • Dog friendly
  • East River Ferry
  • Home to artists and art galleries
  • Many good restaurants and bars abound
  • The neighborhood is populated by a diverse population
