A diverse neighborhood with creativity and spirit
Located between Bay Ridge and Park Slope, Sunset Park can feel like an odyssey from Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. Its relatively obscure location has kept rents low for many years. However, that is slowly changing as the neighborhood has become increasingly popular with a new wave of young people moving in to work, create and live near Industry City. This business hub draws hipster crowds with Smorgasburg, The Brooklyn Flea, artisan shops, tech conferences, galleries and rooftop movie screenings. “Sunset Park is a diverse neighborhood; a melting-pot flavor and culture,” Kurt Vikki, licensed real estate broker at Compass with over a decade of sales in the neighborhood and former policeman at Sunset Park’s 72nd Precinct. “There is a large Hispanic community on 4th Avenue and Chinatown on 8th Avenue. In recent years, the neighborhood has changed because buyers from Downtown Brooklyn are coming to Sunset Park for lower than Park Slope.”

The last “affordable” frontier in Brooklyn
"Sunset Park is mainly residential with primarily multifamily family townhouses and some condos and co-ops sprinkled in," says Vikki. With a median sales price of $1.2 million, there's a lot of possibility for first-time buyers and those looking for a good deal. There are affordable outliers, where buyers could snatch up a studio for approximately $350,000. On the high end, for about $4 million, there are row houses with more than 10 bedrooms between 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. Most real estate resides in prewar buildings with original details such as pocket doors, tin ceilings, decorative fireplaces and crown moldings. There are a few new developments and conversions, such as 4016 7th Ave and 832 40th Street, but they tend to be small-scale projects with only a handful of units. As typical in Manhattan, the avenues are predominantly business districts, while the cross streets offer a residential neighborhood feel.
