I find neighborhoods on the cusp to be very interesting. I remember when Dumbo was just beginning to be populated in the early 1990s and when Williamsburg/Greenpoint began to take off. Sunset Park is somewhat different. It is not a deserted and thinly populated neighborhood but rather a very vibrant and diverse community. While it is currently very Asian and Hispanic this is beginning to change. More and more people are discovering this neighborhood. The park itself is a real oasis. It offers wonderful views of the skyline and is a great place to hang out. Although I would not consider living in this neighborhood since I'm very happily ensconced in Dumbo, I've looked at several apartments in this neighborhood. This is probably the best building in the neighborhood. It's located on the top of the hill which gives a great views. Also, unlike many other buildings in the neighborhood, this one has an elevator. I visited the model unit this morning and thought the work and renovations were well done. The pricing compared to some of the other newly constructed buildings is reasonable. It is a bit of a schlep to the subway but it's proximity directly next to the park is perfect for those who appreciate the park. Marketplace, I am curious to see if these units will sell.
