Vinegar Hill Real Estate

Vinegar Hill offers what DUMBO has lost as it boomed - genuine quiet, cobblestone alleys, time-frozen historical character, and a tiny tight-knit community. The trade-off is fewer amenities (residents still rely on DUMBO for services) and a smaller buyer pool if you ever sell. For buyers who value historical character and quiet over new construction and trendy amenities, Vinegar Hill is the answer. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696.

Vinegar Hill housing is dominated by pre-civil war houses lining cobblestone alleys. Total inventory is tiny - 9-10 blocks with a few hundred residents. New construction has appeared adjacent to the neighborhood (some residents are disturbed by traffic and light blockage from new DUMBO condo towers). Historic preservation keeps the character intact.

Vinegar Hill sits adjacent to DUMBO with similar access to Manhattan via the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Subway access is via DUMBO's stations (F, 2, 3, A, C trains). Travel times to Manhattan are 10 to 20 minutes - among the fastest in Brooklyn.

Vinegar Hill is one of Brooklyn's most isolated and time-frozen neighborhoods - pushed into a waterfront corner that looks ignored by time. The name comes from an 1798 Irish Rebellion (a theory has it the moniker was picked to attract Irish immigrants). The neighborhood is 9-10 blocks with only a few hundred residents. Pre-civil war houses line cobblestone alleys. The historic Commandant's Mansion (built 1806) overlooks the East River. The Vinegar Hill House is the focal point of Hudson Avenue's commercial activity. The Damascus Bakery's bread aroma still soaks the air, evoking the neighborhood's industrial-community past.
