How do you choose a Brooklyn neighborhood?

Start with budget, then commute, then the type of building you want. Brooklyn spans a wide range: Tami's spring 2026 notes put entry points under $600,000 in East New York and Bushwick and $1.8M+ in DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights.

  • Under $600K: East New York, parts of Flatbush (co-ops and entry condos)
  • $600K–$900K: Bushwick, Crown Heights, Bay Ridge
