A trendy Brooklyn neighborhood close to Williamsburg
East Williamsburg is a flourishing Brooklyn neighborhood known for its arts and nightlife scenes, as well as large industrial buildings. South of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and intersected by Newtown Creek, East Williamsburg tends to have generally fuzzy boundaries that define the neighborhood, as it blends into Bushwick to the south and Williamsburg to the west. As development and a shift in housing prices have changed in Williamsburg, younger people and artists have moved east. “The artistic community is going to East Williamsburg where they can spread their wings in a little bit of a larger space,” says Christian Haag, a real estate salesperson with Nest Seekers International who has lived in Williamsburg for 20 years. “They have that community of artists, they’re younger and they still want that raw, hip feeling.”

A condo conversion, such as the Firehouse Lofts, originally a midcentury firehouse on Metropolitan Avenue, has one-bedrooms that cost between $799,000 to $1.3 million.
