BROOKLYN, Boerum Hill
BROOKLYN, Boerum Hill
Between Smith Street and Third Avenue, Degraw Street and Atlantic Avenue and centrally located near Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill has slowly transformed itself from a blighted district in the 1960s to a chic area sporting French bistros and trendy restaurants, although a few undeveloped patches still exist juxtaposed directly against graciously renovated homes. The extensive presence of Middle Eastern shops, mosques, and culture on Atlantic Avenue, taken together with the Brooklyn High School of Arts and the neighborhood’s annual "greening day” pay tribute to the area’s diverse past and present. Those looking for deals should look towards Gowanus, where the number of trees falls and the number of warehouses rises.
