The borough's fastest growing core in ZIP 11201 - glassy high rise condo towers, the City Point complex, one of the busiest transit hubs in New York, and a cluster of colleges keeping the streets buzzing. Here is what it is actually like to live here.
Downtown Brooklyn has transformed faster than almost anywhere in the city. The housing stock leans toward brand new high rise condo towers with full amenities - doormen, gyms, roof decks, and skyline views. It is a neighborhood of young professionals, students, and people who want to step out the door onto a dozen subway lines and be anywhere in minutes.
The center of gravity is transit and retail. City Point anchors the shopping and dining, the Fulton Mall runs through the heart of it, and the colleges keep the sidewalks full. In between are some of the newest and most convenient homes in the borough.

New towers, new retail, and new parks keep arriving - one of the most rapidly improving corners of the borough.
Fort Greene Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park sit a short walk away, giving high rise residents real green space close to home.
Downtown Brooklyn is a fast moving, new development market. Condos generally trade between about $700,000 and $3 million and up, with the number set by size, floor, views, and the building's amenity package. Larger tower penthouses sell above that. Because buyers value the transit access and the turnkey new construction, well priced, well presented homes here tend to move quickly and often draw more than one offer.
Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific Downtown Brooklyn home is worth today is a real read on the exact residence and the most recent sales in its building.
