Painter Needed

Jay-z helped put Brooklyn back on the map in a good way...it doesnt matter that he is a rapper.
Also, anyone that has ever met him will attest to the fact that he is quite a gentleman and not a thug like folks make him out to be.
Yes, he is a rapper, Yes he is from the projects but he did what he could to get out of there and look at him now.
Probably one of the brightest people out there.

This is very sad but Far Rockaway has been a tough neighborhood since the projects have been put in. A while back there was some revitalization but it didn't last.

There is a stretch of Bungalows up on 109th Street in Rockaway that are still in mint condition. Even a few that are lived in year round. There is a nice community there but they don't go for sale often.

Belle Harbor is a beautiful beachfront neighborhood where more and more people are buying houses as summertime properties. It allows people to escape Brooklyn without the traffic of the Hamptons, Jersey Shore, etc. However those houses come with hefty price tags.

Thanks for including this although it is technically Queens...I would like most people on the Brooklyn side of the Rockaway's Peninsula consider themselves Brooklynites...
