Boerum Hill

The popular neighborhood of Boerum Hill has transitioned from one of America’s first wealthy suburbs to an economically depressed enclave in the mid-20th century, to its current state as a desired trendy hub of Brook-hatten. Boutiques, antique stores, and an eclectic mix of restaurants fill in the spaces amongst restored 19th century row houses on the main drags of Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street. As the restaurant scene suggests, the demographic makeup of Boerum Hill is ethnically heterogeneous.

Living within the quiet, quaint tree-lined streets of Boerum Hill you can still enjoy a vibrant nightlife at the many flowing watering holes. Real estate in the neighborhood offers a variety of options from old brownstones to brand new luxury condos. Not exactly cheap, thanks to the numerous subway lines available in this strategically located neighborhood, but obviously worth it. Highlights: Smith St., Temple Square
