A textbook example of the quintessential Brooklyn neighborhood, complete with a waterfront promenade, great schools, stunning harbor and skyline views, affordable housing, and a lively nightlife, Bay Ridge’s popularity is no surprise to its long-time residents. Like a small town in a big city, this neighborhood is now drawing younger families who are attracted to new residential development projects coming to market and its quiet streetscapes.
