Perhaps as a result of its more upmarket prices (rentals go for over $2,200 per month), the Oriental Blvd & Ocean Avenue area, part of the same precinct as the Avenue U & E. 28th Street area, has one of the higher vacancy rates (19.1%) among the safest Brooklyn neighborhoods for families. Despite this, the neighborhood has much to offer. With its enviable bayside location, the neighborhood affords its residents excellent shoreline walking areas as well as water transport via ferry for those that prefer such modes of transport.
