Bushwick is the next Williamsburg. It’s the new up and coming hot spot. Soon, the lofts there will be as expensive as a place in Manhattan – just like Williamsburg. It’s quickly changing from an industrial area to an artsy, scenester town. In a few years it’ll be packed, expensive & trendy.

Restaurants now take food stamps.

Some areas become "gentrified" very quickly and some don’t. Any area that has brownstones seem to become extremely popular. Boerum Hill turned around and became very high end within a very few years, despite the projects. Smith Street is the new restaurant row. Red Hook, Clinton Hill and Fort Green are still trying, but housing prices have certainly risen. So I guess you just take your chances if your hoping the neighborhood will become gentrified. The only difference I see between Boerum Hill and the other neighborhoods is the convenience to Manhattan and it’s proximity to Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights.
