  • Camorrino79
    "Downtown Brooklyn is the best place to live in New York City. Great people. Quite compared to Manhattan."
  • Resident
    "We moved to the Columbia Waterfront District last year and love it. It is super close to Manhattan (F-train is cool and taxi rides reasonable) and it feels like a little oasis in the world's best city. With the Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Brooklyn Greenway initiative on the way this will be even better. Red Hook it is cool and will be even greater in the years to come. In our opinion here is where you have it all."
