Moving to Bay Ridge

Is anyone familiar with the Bay Ridge area? We went yesterday to an open house on 74th Street and 3rd Avenue — yellowhookliving.com. The apartments actually seem pretty nice, but I’m worried they might be overpriced for the neighborhood. Does anyone know the market in the area and if $630K for a new construction condo is pricey? Does it make more sense to buy something near the water here? Also, any general thoughts on the nabe would be appreciated. I’m not from Brooklyn, so this area is totally unfamiliar to me. Thanks.
