P.S. – The area east of Bushwick Avenue, all the way south to Flushing, is covered by the East Williamsburg Valley Industrial Development Corporation (EWVIDCO) – so the people who serve that area’s businesses call it East Williamsburg too!
What do all of you do all weekend?
I was hoping someone would mock me for liking that kitchen. At the very least . .. .
As far as I’m concerned, the industrial loft area bordered by Bushwick Ave., Grand/Metropolitan/Flushing/creek is Bushwick even though the city calls it East Williamsburg. It’s in the loft area. If you are West of Bushwick Ave., that’s East Williamsburg.
Anyway, it’s priced like East Williamsburg, ain’t it!?
“in all my many (two) years in Bushwick I have never seen before.” (mopar)
heehee
I find the Midwood kitchen comforting and . . . nostalgic. I think it reminds me of the county house kitchen my aunt had. I wouldn’t want to change a thing.
I find the whole house strangely welcoming. I would like to see it and am sorry I am out of town.
I can’t decide if the Williamsburg house has a kitchen in the living room or a living room in the kitchen.
Ditmas park house does back onto the train, but it’s the prettiest on the block.
I would call it East Williamsburg – most people I know over there would do the same. I don’t think you start calling it Bushwick until you cross Flushing Avenue or go east of Newtown Creek. (The people who built Williamsburg Houses also called it Williamsburg!)
That area (actually all of North Brooklyn) was originally Bushwick (the original Bushwick settlement was at Metropolitan and Bushwick). The area from Union east as far south of Broadway/Flushing was annexed by the City of Williamsburg, which was when it was first called East Williamsburg (at the time, they tried to carve out a couple of blocks around the original settlement and keep it as part of the Town of Bushwick. In the late 90s, brokers started pushing the East Williamsburg moniker, out to Ridgewood, as DH says. Now, I think they are doing the opposite, and pushing the boundaries of Bushwick west and north, because Bushwick now has cachet (!).
At least arguments over Bushwick/Williamsburg won’t result in a fight – try telling an oldtimer east of Meeker that he lives in Williamsburg. He’ll give you an earful of Greenpernt.
That williamsburg house (or bushwick) has no windows in the living room, that’s kind of weird.
