Williamsburg is a neighborhood located in Brooklyn (part of Brooklyn Community Board 1), bordering Greenpoint, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bushwick.
Williamsburg is home to a thriving art community and is largely associated with one of its main streets, Bedford Avenue. The neighborhood is a magnet for young people moving to New York City. Prospective residents looking for trendy nightlife and views of Manhattan migrate toward the spacious lofts of the north side, while those seeking more traditional brick apartment buildings and frame houses gravitate toward the south.
