Living in Kensington, Brooklyn
Name From London, People From Everywhere
The Kensington area of Brooklyn, with lower prices and a slower pace than “brownstone Brooklyn,” offers an increasingly popular alternative to the borough’s more gentrified neighborhoods.
Side note....
Did anyone else notice the second "On the Market" listing was a 1 bedroom at 235 Ocean Parkway that seemed way out of range? ($410k for a 1 bedroom in Kensington! We just saw a great real 2 bedroom for $420k)

It sounds like sellers still believe that the real estate boom is going on, with all of the new developments going up, etc.
I think that more expensive 1-bedroom is a CONDO.. Most of the apts in the neighborhood are co-ops and therefore much cheaper.
What is this typical BS from the NY Times about "slower pace." Did they check out Ocean Parkway? Does the F train run slower at Ditmas Ave or Church Ave? If anything the pace is a lot faster & more dangerous.
I think we need to abolish real estate sections of newspapers. Its not news that this is a good, relatively inexpensive place to live. Thats what it comes down to. I moved here 6 years ago. Old timers call me new to town, yuppie, etc. I live here because its cheaper than so many other places I looked at the time. I'd like it to stay that way.
p.s I think beggars read the NYT real estate section. In the last year, I've been hit up more than the 5 years previous.
