Bay Ridge Apartments for Rent
About Bay Ridge Neighborhood

Bay Ridge is a family-oriented residential neighborhood located in the southwestern corner of Brooklyn. Also referred to as “the heart of Brooklyn’s Arab community,” the community is home to a large number of Middle Eastern and Arab Americans. There is a large number of ethnic restaurants and an even larger amount of bars located along the area’s two thoroughfares, Thirds, and Fifth Avenues. Housing consists mostly of co-ops, condominiums, low-rise apartment buildings and a considerable amount of single and multi-family homes. Over the years it has done well to maintain a small-town vibe with a strong sense of community. Notable residents that have lived here include actor and television host Jimmy Fallon and former chairperson of the Federal Reserve Janet Yellen.
