A working-class neighborhood with a legendary skyline
Stepping off the subway at Coney Island, one is immediately transported to a bygone era. With its 3-mile beach, kitschy boardwalk and vintage amusement park, it’s hard to believe it’s still Brooklyn. Despite its near-fabled, cinematic rapport, Coney Island has always been a blue-collar, working-class neighborhood. Millions of annual visitors may flock to its shores, but this peninsula dubbed “The People’s Playground” is more than just a thoroughfare, with over 55,000 year-round residents who call it home. “The neighborhood is definitely changing. There’s a crane on every corner with a lot of rezoning and rumors about the casino coming. But it still has that Coney Island feel,” Mark Martov, a licensed real estate salesperson at Corcoran Group. “It’s like stepping out of a time machine to 100 years ago, with Nathan’s and the arcades mixed with a ton of new rentals and developments,” he says.

Historical amusement park and beach district
It’s impossible to talk about Coney Island without mentioning its 2.7-mile-long boardwalk and Luna Park. Over a century old, Luna Park is one of America’s most iconic amusement parks. Its famous wooden roller coaster, the Cyclone, is still in operation today. The New York Aquarium is also a local favorite and one of the oldest in the country. The park and beach are open in the summer months, but during off-season, residents still walk the boardwalk and shoreline. Several parks and playgrounds, including Asser Levy Park, are nearby, as well as the minor league baseball stadium, Maimonides Park. To the north, Kaiser Park has tennis courts, and Coney Island Creek Park offers a rustic, waterfront reprieve for residents.

Year-round events and fantastical parades
From pop-up sideshows and film festivals, to concerts and burlesque shows, the district is teeming with quirky ongoings nearly every week. Perhaps one of the biggest, the annual Mermaid Parade is an aquatic spectacle that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to revel in creative costumes. The July Fourth Fireworks show and world-famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest are also popular. On New Year’s Day, hundreds gather for the annual Coney Island Polar Bear Plunge.
Limited dining options with seasonal fare along the boardwalk
Coney Island doesn’t have the worldly gastronomy scene like other parts of Brooklyn. There are fast-food chains like White Castle and Nathan’s Famous, and food trucks like Habibi Moroccan Halal Food, but most of the current dining is seasonal. Locals order seafood at Paul’s Daughter and Italian fare at Gargiulo’s. Ruby's Bar & Grill is great for people-watching over a beer during high-season. Along Mermaid Avenue, residents can find necessary goods from small hardware stores, local markets and bodegas. Two Key Food supermarkets are found along Neptune Avenue.

Important things to know
Potential plans for building a large casino and entertainment complex have been stalled due to reproach from community leaders. Those backing the casino say it will help with revitalization and economic development, but many locals are opposed to it, citing congestion, traffic and displacement in a predominantly low-income area. “It’s a mixed response from locals, from both old-timers and gentrifiers who want the neighborhood to stay the way it is,” says Martov. Several new residential complexes are also being built, which will increase affordable and mixed-income housing, and also transform the neighborhood’s existing landscape.
