Living in Downtown Brooklyn means that you can take advantage of the best of Brooklyn. On any given day, you can watch an award-winning play at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, dine at the famed Junior's Restaurant (don't forget the cheesecake!), take in the scenic waterfront views along the Brooklyn Promenade, and see the vintage trains at the New York Transit Museum. Whatever you choose to do, you can always get around via the 14 subway lines, 16 bus lines, and Long Island Rail Road that all serve Downtown Brooklyn. And, Downtown Brooklyn is just 1 or 2 subway stops from Manhattan. Few places in New York can boast these figures.

With all that is available now, Downtown Brooklyn is also experiencing a transformation. With more than 35,000 new residents expected to move into the 14,000 residential units under construction or planned, an influx of new retail stores, cultural venues, restaurants, hotels, and parks will only add to this vibrant neighborhood, making it a true 24/7 mixed-use urban center.
