You can rent the space for a private party, but young Greenpoint residents prefer the music events and dance concerts the gallery hosts. Greenpoint Gallery isn’t just a gallery for the visual arts, but also for the ingenious creatives who tickle our ears with their mellifluous music. Be sure to check out the massive 6,000 square foot Greenpoint Gallery, which features creatives from all walks of art. Greenpoint has a wonderful arts scene, with galleries, pop-up exhibitions, poetry readings, art studios, open mic nights, and performances spaces promoting not only established artists but young and emerging ones as well. WHILE WILLIAMSBURG IS THOUGHT TO BE THE MAIN HOT SPOT FOR CREATIVE TYPES AND GALLERIES, IT DOESN’T HAVE THE CORNER OF THE MARKET ON ALL THINGS ARTSY AND NOWHERE IS THIS MORE EVIDENT THAN IN GREENPOINT. Since it’s not as easy to get to as other hipster enclaves in Brooklyn, Greenpoint is still slightly cheaper and, as residents note, safer which is very attractive to young families. With some of the best public schools in the city, Greenpoint attracts families in addition to the young professionals and hipsters the area is known for. As a result, demand for housing in Greenpoint has skyrocketed.
However, rent and sales prices have been rising in the area in the last few years and developers have gotten on the surge.įueling the recent manic building in Greenpoint is also the fact that many young professionals have been priced out of Williamsburg but still want to stay in close proximity to this cultural mecca. Both Williamsburg and Greenpoint’s waterfront areas were rezoned to pave the way for new developments in 2005, but Greenpoint has lagged behind it’s hipper big brother, making strides towards gentrification at a more moderate and measured pace than Williamsburg’s seemingly frenetic pace. DON’T MOVE THE HARD WAY–MOVE THE DIVINE WAY!Īs the northernmost neighborhood in Brooklyn, Greenpoint’s small town charm is getting a Williamsburg-like hipster makeover.
