Greenpoint.

Worth it, says Antonina. While I think it’s definitely one of the best neighborhoods in Brooklyn, the median home price of $1.2 million does put it out of the budget of some.

What this page is

Greenpoint is on one of my lists, My favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods. I also wrote a whole guide to it, Best things to do in Greenpoint. First what I go for, what to know and when I go, in my own words from that list. Then what I wrote about it there. At the end, where it is and what’s near.

Before you go, in my words

Quoted from my own lists
What I go for

Between the decor and great bites, I love suggesting Bakeri to folks visiting Greenpoint for the first time.

Good to know

Found on the 22nd floor of The William Vale hotel, brace yourself for spectacular views and price tags (make reservations in advance!).

When to go

In an effort to take advantage of living in New York City, I strive to spend my weekends outside. Lately, I’ve been gravitating toward Greenpoint with relative ease.

What I wrote thereFold it away

If you’re looking for artistic neighborhoods in Brooklyn that don’t have the hipster crowds of Bushwick or Williamsburg, try Greenpoint.

It’s still home to the greatest concentration of Polish Americans in the city. You can’t stop by without sampling the delicious pierogies at Karczma!

While I think it’s definitely one of the best neighborhoods in Brooklyn, the median home price of $1.2 million does put it out of the budget of some.

It may very well be one of the best places to live in Brooklyn but it comes at a price. The average rent is $3,500. But if you can afford the price, Greenpoint has a lot going for it.

The scenic parks give you a great place to get out and meet your neighbors. Not to mention, you should never miss a chance to see what’s going on at night in the lively neighborhood.

It’s just north of Williamsburg, another great neighborhood in Brooklyn, making it easy to hit the hipster capital if you need to go to an art gallery opening or street theater performance.
