Dumbo

A historic waterfront with hidden-gem appeal.

Dumbo may be one of Brooklyn’s most up-and-coming residential hubs, but charming cobblestone streets, artfully restored loft spaces, and a pristine waterfront keep its 18th century industrial past front and center. The defunct train tracks criss-crossing central Dumbo once played home to freight carriers transporting manufactured goods from coffee to Brillo pads down the borough’s factory-packed coastline.
