Newly Renovated 2 bedroom apartment in G

Williamsburg and Greenpoint Known for: A more spacious, cheaper cousin to the East Village, Williamsburg can feel at times like a particularly glamorous college campus—or a particularly hip district of Seattle. M.F.A. grads and young professionals priced out of the Lower East Side have carved out space amid the Polish population of Greenpoint and the Italian population near the Graham subway stop. Subway stops: The G train to Greenpoint, Nassau, or Metropolitan Avenues, or the L train to Bedford Avenue or Lorimer Street. What's new: Williamsburg Gardens, at 250 South 2nd Street, and Bedford Court, at 150 South 1st Street (both in the $300,000-to-$700,000 range), are condo buildings catering to first-time buyers. Tellingly, for a young neighborhood that's starting to mature, 158 Broadway's apartments all have two bedrooms. Busta Rhymes recently bought a million-dollar-plus apartment at 60 Broadway, an old musical-instrument factory.
