Slowly but surely, Brooklyn became the most popular borough of New York City. Being the home of the latest trends in music, art, and food scenes, it has opened its space for indie culture and the massive influx of people in recent years. Now, Brooklyn is considered the largest borough by population and, although a large part of this population is composed of folks in their 20s and 30s, the luxury market does not step back, but prices can be merciful.
First, it is important to note that Brooklyn is a historic place, with renovated, but kept intact in their structure buildings, and especially in listings for sale, it is not hard to find pre-war, brownstones, and houses. Modern and brand-new condos and co-ops are not invisible to the eye either.
