Slower pace with a suburban feel
Bay Ridge is a large, family-friendly community defined by its waterfront proximity and open green spaces. Shore Park and its 4.5-mile path border the Belt Parkway, providing dramatic views of the Verrazano Bridge. Life here moves at a slower pace, as Bay Ridge is about an hour by train to Midtown. A longer commute means more space can be found at a lower price point, and some areas feel almost suburban with standalone homes on small lots. Residents can also find many essentials here, from cute coffee shops and chain supermarkets to a diverse food scene and playgrounds. “You can really feel like you're living in the suburbs without actually having to live in the suburbs or pay suburban taxes,” says Melissa C. Leifer, a licensed real estate agent with Keller Williams and former Bay Ridge resident.
Shore Parkway, Bay Ridge, is famed for being one of the best places to walk, run or bike.

A mix of mid-rise coop buildings, multifamily homes and standalone lots
A wide swath of mid-rise buildings, multifamily rowhomes and limestones and single-family lots cluster near the shoreline, lending a suburban-like quality to Bay Ridge. Zoning laws prohibit high-rise towers, and streets are wide and tree lined. Buildings are a mix of prewar and postwar coops, and red brick facades are a common sight. Newer condo buildings have popped up in the southern part, but new development is limited. A recent example includes 9964 3rd Avenue, a full-amenity building where a two-bedroom recently listed for just under $1 million. By comparison, a prewar two-bedroom coop lists for about $400,000. In general, basic coop studios start around $200,000, with one bedrooms going for $250,000. A multifamily rowhome starts around $1 million, while a driveway and tiny yard add to the cost. Desirable standalone homes are a Bay Ridge differentiator, commanding $2 million and up. Leifer adds how townhomes are in high demand with limited availability across Brooklyn, and are another reason that attracts buyers to Bay Ridge. The overall median price is $1 million.

Mostly independent businesses with some chains
Bay Ridge’s business districts are centered along Third, Fifth and 86th streets, and prioritize independent places over chains, like Coffee Rx for local beans and Bookmark Shoppe for curated books and gifts. A wide variety of cuisines exist here, and destination dining spots include longtime favorite Tanoreen for Middle Eastern dishes. Fatta Mano has gained more recent acclaim for its halal Italian menu, and its owner has added Ayat, a Palestinian bistro with garden vibes, to the neighborhood. Grocery shopping options include large chains like SuperFresh to smaller grocers specializing in Greek, Chinese or Turkish goods, for example.

Decades-old Norwegian parade
The annual Norwegian Day Parade is a 70-year-old tradition stemming from a large Norwegian community that once called Bay Ridge home. The event continues to attract Norwegian descendants and hundreds of revelers.
Highly rated public and private options

Fort Hamilton High School is zoned for multiple neighborhoods and enrolls more than 4,000 students. The High School for Telecommunication Arts and Technology is a magnet option with a unique four-year software engineering program.

Waterfront views with uncrowded green space
The 59-acre Shore Park and adjacent 4.5-mile Shore Parkway are a popular destination, whether for taking a family stroll or going on a bike ride. Prime views of the Verrazzano Bridge and Statue of Liberty are an added benefit. Owl’s Head Park is a 24-acre green space at the northern end, home to a 150-foot-long dog run, playground with splash pad and a large skate park. Next to it, the American Veterans Memorial Pier provides another scenic vantage point.

Limited subway lines, but ferry access
The R train is Bay Ridge’s only subway line, yet it offers several stops and takes about an hour to reach midtown. Express bus lines are another commuting option, while the Belt Parkway provides quick car access into the city or to other parts of Brooklyn. A ferry with frequent service is also popular with commuters, making stops at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 11/Wall Street and others. A new pilot program has made it possible to catch an express ferry to Wall Street in 20 minutes.
