Spotlight on Red Hook Brooklyn
Red Hook is literally “on the waterfront” - this peninsula between Buttermilk Channel, Gowanus Bay and Gowanus Canal sits at southern edge of Downtown Brooklyn. With a front row seat to the Statue of Liberty, the neighborhood of Red Hook has a killer view, a close sense of community and a bursting sense of potential.
Residents enjoy the close proximity to the water as well as a fifty-five acre public park; ideal for runners and sports enthusiasts (handball courts, softball fields, a soccer and football field, a track and field) and the adjacent Sol Goldman Pool, this beautiful park is the perfect counterpoint to the bustling streets of the neighborhood.
The Red Hook community is vibrant active, holding a Waterfront Arts Festival an annual summer kick-off featuring dance, music, and spoken-word poetry. Book clubs, museums, galleries, restaurants, diverse dining and shopping – Red Hook is a never-ending source of culture and entertainment. IKEA and Fairway have also made their homes in this once industrial neighborhood.
Red Hook real estate runs the gamut from converted townhouses to new condos; many homes take advantage of the killer views, enjoying roof decks and private balconies. Transportation includes a water taxi as well as the F and G subway lines and restaurant row draws people from all the other boroughs to enjoy the culinary delights available.
