I’m considering moving to DUMBO but have a few questions on buildings. I’m looking at 70 Washington, 1 Main (Clocktower) and 4 Water. I’m concerned about noise – how bad is it really? Are these buildings pretty well insulated? I’m used to it in San Fran, and I recognize this is NYC but I don’t want to be living in a super noisy environment. I like the whole DUMBO vibe, the close access to both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Just want something in a fun neighborhood that still has a bit of a gritty feel to it. Thoughts/suggestions? Any other good buildings to check out in that area?
