A
Preview of the New Brooklyn Condo Real Estate Community
What most people don’t know is that the New
York Brooklyn real estate market represents the
highest population of homebuyers and renters in
the city. Brooklyn (pronounced Breukelen), also
known as Kings County, has a staggering population
of roughly 2.5 million people and growing, making
it the most populous New York City borough featured
here on the New York Condo BUZZ. Also, the Brooklyn
real estate district boundaries are the second largest
of any New York borough in terms of area (square
miles). With a unique architectural heritage in
addition to its famed cultural and entertainment
hubs, the New York Brooklyn real estate market has
made huge grounds in terms of new landmark Brooklyn
condo high-rise towers that are becoming iconic
buildings in the NYC skyline. With the most historic
neighborhoods in all of New York City, Brooklyn
real estate has gone through somewhat of a revival
of sorts over the past decade with the development
of many new sophisticated and modern Brooklyn high-rise
condo projects in the midst of ethnically diverse
and cultural oriented historic neighborhoods. In
addition to many Brooklyn real estate condo revitalization
projects of architecturally heritage condominium
buildings, most of the new projects are market bound
and built from ground up, making it the second busiest
borough in terms of new condo development. |

A
Bit of Brooklyn New York Property Neighborhood History
The most populous borough of NYC was also an independent
city until 1898, which makes Brooklynites very proud.
With some of the most diverse ethnic backgrounds
and cultural based neighborhoods within the New
York Brooklyn real estate community, the economy
is driven by three industries: convenient and more
affordable back offices to Manhattan (as real estate
prices are much more cost effective for large companies)
in addition to national versus city economic ties
as well as population flowing into the Brooklyn
real estate district at astronomical rates. The
number of employed persons in the New York Brooklyn
property district account for more than four hundred
thousand people who are employed and work from the
borough and about half of that who live in the Brooklyn
New York real estate district but commute elsewhere
for work. With much financing and growth from Manhattan
based companies overflowing to Brooklyn, the New
York real estate market in this growing borough
is further enhanced by an influx of international
migration from middle class income earners, giving
a very stable economy and population base for the
community. Manufacturing, services, pharmaceuticals,
high tech, and entertainment are amongst the major
industries that drive the New York Brooklyn real
estate condo market. As of 2000, the fast growing
industry sector of the New York Brooklyn community
is construction and services. Overall, because of
its diversified economy and excellent economic fundamentals
(one of the best for major US cities), the New York
Brooklyn real estate market is very stable, value
oriented and in short supply. The development of
these new Brooklyn condo high-rise projects will
surely add to the inventory supply of owner occupied
and rental buildings, but with the current migration
rate and population influx from other New York City
boroughs, the Brooklyn real estate condo market
will not be able to keep up in terms of new housing
supply. |

About the Brooklyn Condo Market Place for New York
Developments
With a wide range of socio-economic groups, lifestyles
and ethnic diversity, developers in the New York
Brooklyn real estate market have had to launch an
eclectic assortment of new housing that range from
affordable rentals all the way to high-priced luxury
Brooklyn condo penthouses to cater to the wide range
of home buyers. The New York Condo BUZZ certainly
covers many of these new New York Brooklyn condo
developments and hopes that this information and
insightful details are useful for the NYC homebuyer.
Being a magnet for immigration and for ethnically
diverse groups of people from around the world,
the New York Brooklyn real estate community like
its population is like a melting pot. From the Bedford
Stuyvesant African American heritage influence to
the Caribbean arts and culture, the many differing
neighborhoods of the Brooklyn New York real estate
market also present different condo opportunities
for purchase and rent. Also, Brighton Beach is historically
Russian and has been called Little Odessa for generations
whereas Bushwick has generally been a magnet for
Hispanic Americans in addition to Sunset Park Brooklyn
real estate condo community. Italians are in the
Bensonhurst and Dyker heights communities while
Chinese are also largely concentrated in Sunset
Park. The Polish make their way to Greenpoint while
the Irish are at Vinegar Hill, Gerritsen Beach and
Marine Park, all of which provide differing Brooklyn
new York housing types, different New York City
condo development projects and affordability too.
The Jews are concentrated within the Borough Park
area while the Bay Ridge area is known for its Arab
population and culture. The reflective nature of
new Brooklyn condo real estate projects matched
to its population and ethnic base is outstanding.
As most of the most recent New York Brooklyn condo
developments have been erected in Williamsburg (new
district), Fort Greene (historical) and downtown
Brooklyn, these NYC real estate developments have
attracted a wider range of population migration
from all ethnic groups into each community, thereby
increasing the melting pot and affordability for
all. Generally speaking, the new Brooklyn condo
projects are more affordable when compared to that
of Manhattan New York real estate developments.
However, it is noted that many of the Brooklyn condo
floor plans are more spacious and interiors more
luxurious than their counterparts in Manhattan property
market. |
