About Boerum Hill

Rental prices shown are base rent before any fees. Visit listings for cost and fees breakdown.

Energetic and inviting, Boerum Hill continues its run as one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods, all while remaining a secret quietly shared amongst its happy residents. Its appeal and vibrancy stem from its housing stock. Handsome Greek revival and Italianate townhouses line the wide, tree-lined streets. These beautiful brick and limestone buildings have long been a mecca for Brooklynites seeking an enclave close to Downtown Brooklyn and lower Manhattan — but far from crowds and highrises.

Main drags like Bergen Street, Atlantic Avenue, and Smith Street are peppered with charming boutiques like Collier West in addition to welcoming cafes, bars, and restaurants, including Rucola, French Louie, and Bacchus, to name a few. Fans of new construction will find new condo developments too. Saint Marks Place, The Hendrick, The Boerum, and The Bergen have expanded buyers' opportunities. Renters will also find plenty of options here in a broad range of prices, from the genuinely affordable to the luxurious.
