Pierrepont St, Brooklyn Heights

Pierrepont Street is in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, one of the most upscale of all neighborhoods and an address that most people would die for. Only about four blocks long, Pierrepont Street runs perpendicular to the East River. Mostly older brownstone homes and mid-size apartments, Pierrepont Street gets into more of a business environment as you travel toward Cadman Plaza and the Court Street/Borough Hall subway station. Living in this area is ideal for singles and couples and retired folks, since it is a stone's throw away from Manhattan and closes to subway transportation. As a trendy neighborhood, you don't have to go far to find restaurants and services. Most of them are locally owned. You won't find many chains here. Pierrepont Street is close enough to the Brooklyn Heights promenade, which is a favorite place to walk and gaze over the lower Manhattan skyline. This is a good neighborhood, although it is very expensive. It takes a long time to find a vacancy.

Another great street in the best borough around, Brooklyn's Pierrepont Street is a nice street with the accessibility of the metro and the rest of Brooklyn. I like Brooklyn, I like the vibe, and it really has been cleaned up over the past 10 years. The awesome thing about this area is that so many music forms and great art come out of this area, so you'll never be without a show or concert!

Pierrepont Street is located in Brooklyn Heights and stretches from the Promenade on one end to Cadman Plaza on the other. It is primarily a residential street, although there are a few office buildings here and there. There are not a lot of restaurants or shops on Pierrepont, but you are just a block away from Montague Street which is lined with shops and restaurants. The subway at Borough Hall is just a short walk and the views from the Promenade are spectacular.
