Can you live in Coney Island, or is it only an amusement park?

Coney Island is a real residential neighborhood, not just the famous amusement area. While it is best known for its boardwalk, beach, Luna Park, the Cyclone, and the Wonder Wheel, most of Coney Island is home to tens of thousands of residents living in co-op complexes like Trump Village and Warbasse, apartment buildings, and public housing. The amusement district occupies only part of the peninsula. For buyers, Coney Island offers oceanfront living, largely in co-ops and apartments, at some of the most affordable prices in Brooklyn.
