Being born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I can tell you there isn't any place in the world like home. Brooklyn is a very unique place that is larger than life at times.  I will admit that I moved out of NYC almost a decade ago, but I still visit frequently. I am a Brooklynite for life! Now when I was considering a new place to call home New Jersey was my top pick, but I was uncertain about the various areas, neighborhoods etc...

In Maplewood/South Orang...

Brownstones along St. Johns Place in Park Slope, Brooklyn New York City’s most populous borough is increasingly home to residents who come from outside the Empire State, according to a report. About 22 percent of all new tenants in brownstone and North Brooklyn in the first quarter of 2014 were from out-of-state. That’s up from 18 percent during the same time period last year, according to a report from brokerage Ideal Properties Group.

Being born in Brooklyn, NY I am used to certain things...for starters; crowded train stations, a vibrant night life and an assortment of different people from all walks of life everytime I leave the house.  Brooklyn is so diverse there is never a dull moment and if you visit you will see what I mean. Some of things I remember the most is that hot buttered bagel and a french vanilla coffee in the morning before I get the day started or that greasy slice of Pizza when I am trying to squeeze lunch in before meetings. Either way there is no place like home #BrooklynLove.  Now there are so many reasons why one would want to stay and live in Brooklyn forever but some of the reasons why many people leave is they want more space, less crowds, better schools, beautiful homes but still want acce...
