ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
What to know about Greenpoint.
Waterfront
Parts of the neighborhood face the East River, with newer buildings and views toward Manhattan.
A mix of buildings
Older walk-ups and newer developments sit close together, with very different layouts and amenities.
Next to Williamsburg
Williamsburg is just south and is worth comparing on the same search.
WHAT TO CHECK
The building and the commute decide how it feels to live here.
In a live video tour we focus on the details that are easy to miss from a listing.
Homes and buildings
Older apartments, walk-ups and newer rental or condo buildings. Space and amenities can differ considerably from one listing to the next.
- Layout and storage compared with the asking rent
- Laundry, heating and building services
- Street noise at night
- Application documents the landlord asks for
Getting around
Check your subway route and any transfers. A neighborhood’s distance from Manhattan does not tell the whole story of the commute.
- Your subway line and the walk to the station
- Transfers on your daily route
- Evening and weekend service
- Door-to-door time at your usual hours
