Location
Get Directions
Located just two miles north of Coney Island and stretches of sand along Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach, Midwood is one of Brooklyn's much-loved -- and surprisingly lesser known -- neighborhoods. In some ways, it's traditional New York: extremely walkable, bicycle-friendly, and near mass transit. It features tall, brick buildings with wrought-iron fire escapes, and the wide sidewalks lead past friendly neighborhood bakeries, delis, and boutiques. But in other ways, it feels much more suburban, with its tree-filled neighborhoods, elegant single-family homes, and a historic shopping district filled with locally-owned businesses.
Subway stations are scattered throughout Midwood and provide a 45-minute ride to Manhattan. Residents can drive south on Ocean Parkway to enjoy a day at the beach, and students appreciate easy access to Brooklyn College, set just outside of Midwood. This diverse melting pot provides a little bit of everything when searching for a restaurant, shop, or grocer.

A step up but a step back
I love that I'm 26 with my own apartment. Well with a roommate of course(new York living) this apartment is an on going roller coaster. I would like to save and go back to school but with the rent in this place it just keep on rising !!!. We still haven't received our complete kitchen and we been here for two years(shaking your head I know) we had to get our ceiling torn apart because the power went out on one side of the apartment.. What else you ask? The buzzer barely works . Why live here because where else in New York is there to live. Rent is so high once you find a place you try to make the best. Sincerely a women who is making it work.
