# What kind of housing is available in Greenpoint?

Greenpoint housing is primarily townhouses, apartments, and small one- or two-family houses. Apartments are much more affordable than other parts of Brooklyn, even units along the East River with Manhattan views. The architectural character is more modest than the brownstone neighborhoods - think brick townhomes and walk-up apartments rather than ornate row houses. New construction has appeared along the waterfront but the bulk of inventory is older. To browse (/greenpoint-real-estate/), call (718) 666-2696.
