Living in DUMBO
Lofts between the bridges
DUMBO, short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a former industrial district of brick and concrete warehouses, many converted to lofts and offices. The 2007 historic district protects its cobblestone streets and industrial architecture.
Brooklyn Bridge Park, Jane's Carousel and the Time Out Market line the waterfront, and the view of the Manhattan Bridge from Washington Street is one of the most photographed in the city.
The Compass Brooklyn Heights office is at 124 Montague Street, a short trip south.

DUMBO real estate
Homes for sale in DUMBO
DUMBO's homes are mostly condominiums: loft conversions in former warehouses with high ceilings and large windows, and newer buildings with amenities and bridge or skyline views.
Views, ceiling height and building amenities drive pricing more than in the brownstone neighborhoods, and resale supply is limited.
