Kingsland Ave, Greenpoint

I thought I was confused when I came to Grandparents Avenue, but of all of the streets in New York City, I consider this one to have the best name! Ironically, there were a lot of grandparents here, at least on the day I visited. There are a lot of nice homes and brownstones with stoops, which is something I love about Brooklyn. There's nothing like a 3 story walk up! I thought that this was a lovely street in lovely Williamsburg, and think that if you're looking for a place to live in the city, please consider Grandparents Avenue!

The bottom part of this street in the Greenpoint neighborhood mostly consists of warehouses. It has a utilitarian vibe to it and is not the best place to visit. However, the neighborhood is safe and quiet, and close to subway stations and retail shopping venues. I would recommend taking a stroll further up Kingsland Ave, where it becomes more of a quiet residential neighborhood, if searching for a place to live.
