A tightly knit community "where families look out for other families"
"Brownsville is the kind of place where families look out for other families. People take pride in the community. It's also one of the last places you can get affordable real estate," says Steve Sallion, a real estate agent with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty and Brownsville native. "When you're from Brownsville -- like Mike Tyson, Al Sharpton, Larry King and so many other notable people -- you're proud of it because you grew up tough. We have a credo in Brownsville that captures this best -- 'Brownsville, Never Ran, Never Will.'" But Sallion says today's Brownsville is, like the rest of Brooklyn, fast becoming a socioeconomic melting pot as buyers priced out of Manhattan and West Brooklyn discover opportunity in this tightly knit neighborhood. .
Brownsville has a deep history which shows in various murals within the community.
