Hot Brooklyn neighborhoods come with exorbitant pricetags. Familiar names like Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Sunset Park, Kensington, Clinton Hill and a host of others are rarely within reach for young families.
For example, a modest $489,000 can buy you a 1 or 2 bedroom/one bath co-op/condo; on average between 750 and 850 sq. ft. No parking, no outdoor space and to call it move-in ready would be a huge stretch of anyone's imagination.
Compare that to a renovated 2/3 bedroom/ 2 bath home, a reasonable commute away, and you can easily tack on a backyard, basement, garage and twice the square footage to that description.
On November 20th, our first seasonal, cold and grey, New York day, Long Beach was home to the 12th Annual City Council Turkey Trot.
Hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department, a one-mile race began at 8:30 a.m. for children followed by the adult 10k run (6.2 miles) which started at 9:00 a.m. on the boardwalk at New York Avenue.
There were more than 600 runners despite the wintry weather and top finishers in various age categories received awards and turkeys.
The flat and fast route, which follows a boardwalk path, includes East and West Broadway as seen (0 comments)
