Williamsburg / East Williamsburg (Brooklyn Apartments) Neighborhood Information for Apartment Renters

Williamsburg was named after Colonel Jonathan Williams, a U.S. engineer (and grand-nephew to Ben Franklin) who surveyed the area. When the East Village looked like it was going to be yuppified in the 1980s, artists fled to Williamsburg and East Williamsburg for cheaper alternatives. The transformation from industrial to hip is not yet complete. You won't find any fancy housing options here. The southern part of Williamsburg is still home to the insular Hasidic community, and public housing access is highly competitive. The hippest spot is Bedford Ave (first stop on the L line) and there's always rumors of waterfront development sooner or later. New shops and restaurants open all the time. You can still be a pioneer in a neighborhood that's definitely on its way up.

A singles paradise, especially if you're the non-conformist type. Not ready for families since studios or 1 bedrooms dominate the rental market. The best park is in nearby Greenpoint.
