Columbia Street Waterfront District Neighborhood Guide

Despite what its name implies, the Columbia Street Waterfront District doesn't have any direct waterfront access. This tiny neighborhood is just 22 blocks large and is sandwiched between expressways. Close to both Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, the neighborhood was formed in 1957 but didn't experience a real upswing in residential development until the mid `80s. Since then, it's come into its own with a wide range of dining, shopping, green spaces, and unique establishments.

Architecture and landmarks

What we know today as Columbia Street Waterfront District largely didn't exist until the late `50s so all the buildings are newer than that. However, during its initial development phase it was primarily industrial. As a result, there are many converted factories and industrials spaces that are today home to unique residential spaces, while many condos are also being built, and many homes are being renovated. Some of the most popular spots to live in include mixed-use row houses that have retail stores on the bottom and homes above. The housing stock here is necessarily small, thanks to the overall small size of the neighborhood, so demand tends to be high. Developers have used this area as a test for a variety of green initiatives, including "passive condos" that work to minimize energy demand.

Transport

The Columbia Street Waterfront District neighborhood is surrounded on both sides by expressways: the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. This makes it a great choice for commuters who travel via car, but the closest train station is almost a mile away in the Carrol Gardens neighborhood and serves only the F and G trains.

Schools

Part of the Columbia Street Waterfront District is zoned for Public School 29 and part of it is zoned for Public School 58. There are no middle schools directly in this neighborhood but nearby options include Brooklyn School for Global Studies and School for International Studies, both in neighboring Cobble Hill. Public high schools in the area include the well-rated South Brooklyn Community High School.

Health

There are no hospitals and few medical practices within the Columbia Street Waterfront District. Residents can access either Cobble Hill or Carroll Gardens relatively easily for their health care needs.

Safety

The Columbia Street Waterfront District is covered by the 76th Precinct of the New York Police Department. In 2016 there were 11 crimes per 1,000 residents in the neighborhood. This makes it one of the safer neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Things to do

There are a number of well-loved, comfortable restaurants, including the popular Thai spot Pok Pok Ny. Alma is a neighborhood Mexican staple, with its simple food and incredible views of Manhattan and the nearby piers. Ferdinando's Focacceria Restaurant is more than a century old and serves rustic Italian recipes in the Sicilian tradition, while Mazzat is the spot for Turkish-style Mediterranean tapas.

Freebird Books & Goods is a great store for those who want to learn about New York History, but for those with a taste for something a little more modern, the Jalopy Theater and School of Music is a great place to hang out, whether you're taking ukulele lessons, learning the banjo, or just listening to other musicians show off their chops. Clayworks is a full-service clay studio that offers classes for potters of all levels and includes a gallery of work for residents to browse and buy. The Brooklyn Collective is also located in the Columbia Street Waterfront District. It's a membership-required collective of artists including jewelry makers, fashion designers etc., who all joined together to make and sell their products.

Several green spaces are currently in development, including the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, which, when completed, will have 14 miles of bike and footpaths down Degraw and Columbia Streets.
