Overview of Sunset Park

Sunset Park is famous for two things: its stunning views of the harbor and its incredible food diversity. A working-class, industrial-residential hybrid, it is home to Brooklyn's Chinatown and a vibrant Latino community. For buyers seeking Sunset Park Brooklyn real estate, it offers pre-war value and an authentic neighborhood feel.

Living in Sunset Park is delicious. From dim sum halls to tacos, the culinary scene is legendary. As a rising Brooklyn NYC neighborhood, it is gaining attention for its Industry City complex.

The market for homes for sale in Sunset Park is primarily co-ops and rowhouses. The "Finnish Co-ops" are famous—historic, affordable apartments built by Finnish immigrants with charming courtyards.

Prices are rising due to the growth of Industry City, but it remains more affordable than Park Slope or Boerum Hill.
