Williamsburg sits on the East River in North Brooklyn, one stop from Manhattan on the L train. Housing runs from new waterfront condo towers to converted lofts and older walk-ups, so the same neighborhood can mean very different buildings and carrying costs.
The L train (Bedford Av, Lorimer St), the J/M/Z at Marcy Av and the G at Metropolitan Av serve the neighborhood. The NYC Ferry also stops on the Williamsburg waterfront.
Williamsburg prices vary widely by building age and distance from the water. For a sense of where North Brooklyn sits against the rest of the borough, see the budget tiers in our Brooklyn neighborhood guide and the live numbers on StreetEasy.
In newer condos, ask about any tax abatement and when it expires, because taxes can rise sharply after it ends. In older buildings, review the building financials, reserves and recent assessments.
