From an artist enclave to a vogue residential zone, DUMBO is a quintessential Brooklyn neighborhood marked by charming cobblestone streets and postcard views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Former warehouses and factories have become chic condominiums and commercial centers, and a revitalized waterfront overlooks the East River and the Manhattan skyline.
The Life
Eateries and cafes can be found on nearly every corner and street in DUMBO, and Smorgasburg takes place every Sunday in warmer months. Riverside greenspaces include Main Street, Empire Fulton Ferry, and Brooklyn Bridge Parks. Residents are a mix of young professionals and families, and a concentration of tech-based companies like Etsy has made the area one leg of Brooklyn’s tech triangle. The NYC Ferry is a wonderful alternative to the subway.
