This eight block plot carved out of Brooklyn’s lower portion is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in all of New York. At $2,945 per month in average monthly rental prices, the neighborhood’s historic homes certainly pander to a very specific socio-economic profile in its residents. This is particularly true given that most residents don’t rent–little renting options are available in the neighborhood at all. There is, however, a high ownership rate within this area, indicative of high stability, low-turnover, and thus, a stronger community bond.
