The new Brooklyn waterfront
While New York City has waterfront property in every direction, Brooklyn's share of it has been unstoppable in the last decade when it comes to residential development. Red Hook and Sunset Park, each in their own way, represent some of the city's newest frontiers in waterfront living. Below are a few recently-listed homes, for sale or lease, in these growing waterfront neighborhoods.

95 Dikeman Street, #PH - $950,000
2 beds, 2 baths
Penthouse living, townhouse living and waterfont life, all in one two-bedroom apartment? Many a Red Hook home wears several hats and this one is no exception. The two-bedroom condominium occupies the entire top floor of a converted townhouse in the borough's beloved "seaside village." Living room windows have unobstructed views of New York Harbor, and bedrooms bring you the Manhattan skyline; even better: panoramic skyline and harbor views from your private roof deck. The home was completely renovated just a few years ago–including some of that Brooklyn Toile Flavor Paper wallpaper–designed by Mike D of the Beastie Boys–that we love so much.
