For families looking to own a space in this area, get ready to shell out some serious cash. The median real estate price in the area that ranks 9th in our list of safest Brooklyn neighborhoods for families is $1,052,705, and even renters are feeling the squeeze with rental prices north of $4,000 per month. Perhaps the soaring property price tags in this reason are indicative of consumer demand, as real estate vacancies are at 4.8%. Aesthetically, the neighborhood serves as a nod to an earlier time with a smattering of Victorian properties as well as a majority of buildings constructed prior to 1939. Composed of a fascinating mix of Russian and Arab-Americans, the neighborhood owns a unique cultural identity that few other areas are capable of matching.
