Brooklyn neighborhood guide
DUMBO
Cobblestones, converted warehouses and bridge views
Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, DUMBO is known for loft conversions, waterfront parks and views of both bridges.
Once a manufacturing hub, DUMBO's warehouses have become loft condominiums, offices and galleries. The neighborhood sits between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges along Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Inventory is limited and buildings vary widely in layout and amenities, which makes local guidance especially useful.
