Known for its bohemian artsy vibe and vibrant nightlife scene during much of the 1990s and 2000s, Williamsburg earned a nickname as “The New Soho.” Today it ranks as a top living destination for professionals and families alike seeking luxury homes with fine amenities, in a premier location minutes from Manhattan and the best of northern Brooklyn. Williamsburg is a huge neighborhood brimming with great shopping and dining options, trendy cafes and chic boutiques, along with an Apple store, the L train, and much more. You’ll find it all here, from street art that brightens residential thoroughfares to repurposed factories, and the waterfront offering amazing NYC skyline views, outdoor concerts and food markets. Livening things up even further are dance clubs, happening bars and music halls that appeal to the nightlife crowd. New developments are cropping up on the southern end offering more residential opportunities, while East Williamsburg maintains an industrial feel with still-active warehouses and converted residential lofts.
