Gowanus Apartments for Rent
About Gowanus Neighborhood

Gowanus is a former industrial zone meets artist creativity type of neighborhood located in northwest Brooklyn. Young professionals, hipsters and creative types make up the majority of the residents. Due to rising rent costs, many locals from neighboring Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill are making their way to Gowanus. Although the polluted Gowanus Canal travels through the neighborhood, more trendy stores, restaurants and bars are beginning to open here transforming into one of Brooklyn’s up-and-coming hip enclaves. Framed houses, renovated warehouses and low-rise homes with apartments in each make up the majority of housing, but brownstones and affordable housing can be found trickled throughout.
