Bushwick is known for its innovative street art and repurposed industrial spaces.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Like many of Brooklyn\u2019s once-undesirable neighborhoods, Bushwick is emerging as one of the hottest new areas for young people to live in New York City. Between the area\u2019s DIY art scene, independent stores, and unique amenities, it’s easy to understand why.<\/p>\n

Before diving in, here’s a word on geography: Bushwick is a neighborhood of North Brooklyn, bordering the hip and rapidly developing Williamsburg<\/a> to the west, Ridgewood, Queens<\/strong> (Bushwick\u2019s \u201csister\u201d neighborhood) to the north, and the increasingly popular Bedford-Stuyvesant<\/a> (or Bed-Stuy, as the locals say) to the south. Connecting these different areas are the L train (running through Williamsburg to 14th Street in Manhattan in as few as 6 stops), the J and Z trains (running along the southern border, Broadway, and across the Williamsburg Bridge to the Lower East Side), and the M train (an elevated train on Myrtle Avenue, terminating in Middle Village).<\/p>\n
