Is Coney Island a good place to live year-round?

Coney Island is increasingly desirable as a year-round residence. The seaside character, amusement park entertainment, boardwalk access, the New York Aquarium, and miles of beaches give it a vacation-feel home base unusual in NYC. Pricing is significantly below North Brooklyn for waterfront access. The trade-off is longer commutes to Manhattan than denser neighborhoods. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696.
