Brooklyn is a borough in New York City. It’s a densely packed, urban environment that tends to be quieter than the bustling Manhattan. It’s one of the most densely populated counties in all of the United States and you’ll feel that when you’re exploring Brooklyn. There’s a lively atmosphere throughout the borough and you’ll see family-owned businesses, five star restaurants, historic homes, gorgeous green spaces, and incredible architecture.
As the northernmost neighborhood in New York City, Greenpoint borders Queens and Manhattan across the East River. This central location with easy access to three boroughs attracts residents from all over the city. Historically, Greenpoint has been the hub of the Polish-American community in New York City. You’ll still find the best Polish food in all of the city here. Nowadays, the neighborhood is inhabited by people of all walks of life and has become famous for its amazing nightlife scene.
New developments along the East River have helped Greenpoint develop into a major part of Brooklyn. These buildings feature incredible views of central Manhattan and exceptional amenities. Another advantage of life in Greenpoint is the access to gorgeous greenery. McCarren and McGolrick Parks provide the neighborhood plenty of access to grassy lawns and sunshine. In the neighborhood, you’ll also find spectacular architecture, including the St. Anthony of Pauda Church and the Church of Ascension, which was built in the 1850s.
Like much of Brooklyn, many residents of Greenpoint commute to other parts of the city for work. The G train runs through the neighborhood and connects the borough of Brooklyn to its northern neighbor, Queens. Ferries and buses can also take residents across the East River into Manhattan, where many Brooklynites are employed.
