Williamsburg, Where North Is Up
In hipster haven, new development crosses Grand Street
BY LAUREN PRICE
Williamsburg, in two
decades of dramatic
change, has evolved well
beyond its reputation as
a magnet for artists and
young adventurers drawn
by low rents and large
lofts converted from old,
often abandoned factories.
With customary New York
speed, a booming nightlife
and eating scene spawned
a proliferation of trendy
shops, especially along
Bedford Avenue, and then
ambitious new residential
development.
Geographically large —
running roughly from the
East River to Flushing Avenue
between the Brooklyn
Navy Yard and, on the
north, Bushwick Avenue
and McCarren Park — and
home to about 125,000
people, the neighborhood
long had something of an
invisible line between a
more gentrified north and a
grittier south.
But recently, South Williamsburg

— in particular
the area bounded by Grand
Street and Division Avenue,
from Union Avenue to the
East River — has changed
as well. According to recent
Census data and industry
experts, the area remains
dominated by rental units
and its demographic mix
is not unfamiliar from a
decade ago or more, but
new buildings — including
condominiums such as
the Oosten on Kent Avenue
and the nearby 15 Dunham
Place — have attracted
newer residents, many
of them young, with values
favorable when compared
to North Williamsburg.
