Living in a city that never sleeps is an adventure and every native New Yorker will tell you that. Every borough is specific on its own, for instance, Manhattan is known as the posh one, while Brooklyn was always considered for hip and artsy neighborhood. However, Brooklyn is a historical neighborhood. In fact, all those old brownstones and tree-lined sidewalks that you’ve been seeing on the big screen are located in Brooklyn, more precisely Brooklyn Heights.
Today I’m about to tell you why relocating to Brooklyn Heights is the best decision young families can make. I guarantee you that you will adore the peaceful atmosphere of this pace, so let’s start.
This hood is located on the East River, just between the Dumbo and Downtown Brooklyn. Most of its residents love this enclave because of the great combination of Manhattans elegance and Brooklyn’s hippy vibe. Brooklyn Heights has been known as Brooklyn’s most peaceful, pleasant, attractive, and community-oriented neighborhood.
This neighborhood became largely popular after the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883. The direct and fast access to Manhattan attracted bankers and other professionals to relocate to Brooklyn Heights from Manhattan and Financial District. This was always a walkable neighborhood, full of green spaces, parks, and playgrounds which created a family ambiance. If you are relocating with small kids look no further than Brooklyn Heights.
The best thing you can do in this neighborhood is to walk, wander and enjoy the beautiful scenery that Brooklyn Heights has in abundance. Soon you will realize that this area is full of cute and short dead lanes, one of the most famous ones is Love Lane. The story behind the name is pretty logical and romantic, in the past lovers would meet in this street to take a walk and go on dates. These little dead-end streets are what make Brooklyn Heights charming and unique.
BK Heights is all about the classic and slow pace. In all honesty, this area isn’t a foodie’s paradise, you won’t find trendy and hip cuisines here. The restaurants are mainly focused on classics like Italian, French, and American cuisine. Even though I told you this is a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, you’ll find a bunch of cocktail bars around here.
If you are up for some craft beer or organic wine then take a stroll down this area and I guarantee you’ll find more than enough bars that fulfill your criteriums. The nightlife isn’t so dynamic and wild as in Williamsburg or Manhattan, I can freely say that it is more accommodative to young parents, which is great.
What I would recommend to every newcomer is to first visit Brooklyn Heights Promenade, and experience one of the most amazing views of the city. The skyline of Manhattan is one of the prettiest views in NYC. From here you will see the Statue of Liberty and the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge, and just below you is Brooklyn Bridge Park.
There is everything for everyone here, no matter the age and lifestyle. Are you familiar with Bargemusic? You have to visit this place! This is NYC’s floating concert hall that presents great music year-round. It is docked just under the Brooklyn Bridge, this is one of the most memorable things you can do in this neighborhood. Just imagine how good it is to listen to your favorite classical pieces under the starry night in the middle of NYC.
If you aim for a shopping spree, you won’t find that here. The BK Heights is full of local independent stores full of great handcrafts, so if you love unique and one-of-a-kind things then this is your go-to destination.
As you probably know, living in Big Apple is not cheap, in fact, the cost of living here is really high. I don’t know why, but people often think that moving to Brooklyn will reduce this cost, but that is simply not true. In fact, in past few years, the cost of living in Brooklyn is similar to Manhattan prices. The whole of Brooklyn is growing, and it is expanding, which will further impact the prices.
As much as I love BK Heights, I got to say that this is one of Brooklyn’s most expensive areas, the housing and cost of living here are quite high, but this is the price you’ll need to pay for peace and quiet I guess. It is still more affordable than Manhattan, but keep in mind that the median rent here for a one-bedroom apartment is around $3,500.
While living in Brooklyn Heights comes with a higher price tag, the perks are for sure worth it. If you’re thinking about moving to New York City, take some time to rethink your priorities and plan your budget. Only after you sort this out you will be able to nail down exactly which New York neighborhood is the right one for you and your family.
