The northernmost pocket of Brooklyn in ZIP 11222 - deep Polish roots, waterfront parks with East River views, a mix of condos and classic row houses, and the G train and ferry connecting you to the rest of the city. Here is what it is actually like to live here.
Greenpoint sits at the northernmost tip of Brooklyn, and it has held onto a character all its own. Generations of Polish families gave it bakeries, delis, and a Manhattan Avenue commercial strip that still feels like a neighborhood main street. The housing runs from classic brick and frame row houses on quiet interior blocks to sleek new condos rising along the waterfront.
What ties it together is the water. The East River parks and the waterfront esplanade deliver some of the best skyline views in the borough, and the NYC Ferry makes them part of the daily commute. It is a neighborhood that feels tucked away and connected at the same time.
