Neighborhood

Bay Ridge’s name can be taken quite literally, seeing as the neighborhood is situated on the ridge of New York’s Upper Bay in the bustling borough of Brooklyn. This urban, coastal oasis is known for its picturesque residential streets and slight seclusion from big city living.

Though Bay Ridge is an urban neighborhood, many residents applaud this coastal town for its ability to offer a suburban vibe and family-friendly atmosphere amidst its New York City location. Apartments, houses, condos, and townhomes range from cozy to luxury, so there’s something for everyone in this welcoming community.

Towering trees line the residential and commercial streets of Bay Ridge, giving it a park-like feel. And speaking of parks, this neighborhood’s entire coastline is covered by community parks featuring waterfront lawns, tall trees, and recreational amenities.
