Proximity to Manhattan and neighborhood charm are essential to you. The quiet life is more important than the bustling coffee shop at every corner. You're likely looking for a townhouse or a Co-Op. Townhouses and Condos in Brooklyn Heights are the most expensive in any neighborhood. Congrats to you!

You love the amenities of a full-service building and modern conveniences. Proximity to Manhattan is essential, and you want dining options every week.

If you're looking to rent, Downtown Brooklyn is going to be the market with the most inventory and the easiest time you'll have signing a lease.

You're looking for the idyllic Brooklyn Brownstone Neighborhood with access to Prospect Park. You're money is going a little further, but the trade-off is a bit of a longer commute, especially to Midtown.

Park Slope is a large neighborhood, so you'll have a good amount of inventory to search. Look for new higher rises on 4th avenue, Co-Op's closer to Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza, and Brownstones everywhere in bewteen.

You're looking for a Brownstone or a Condo at an affordable price. These two neighborhoods have the highest density of Brownstones at the lowest prices. Many new development condo projects are built between these buildings at cheaper prices.

If you're looking to rent, the vastness of these neighborhoods means a lot of inventory (a good thing). There could be long walks from the subway in both of these places. If commuting is important, make sure to test that walk out.

North Brooklyn (Williamsburg/Greenpoint) has an industrial rather than suburban past. The housing here is likely new construction high rises or clapboard row houses. North Brooklyn is an excellent destination if you are looking for luxury buildings and lots of dining/nightlife options. In addition, the community in Midtown is closer to these neighborhoods than South Brooklyn.

If you're a renter, be prepared for the most expensive rents in any Brooklyn neighborhood. This will vary if you are willing to forego the doorman element.

You're looking for a little bit of everything. These two neighborhoods combine charm with modern conveniences on the edges around the large thoroughfares. You're willing to commute a bit further to get a bit more for your dollar. You've got quiet streets, some park access, and also some dining depending on where you're at.

For rentals, there are a few smaller buildings and townhouses here. They exist, but many rentals are going to be in large high rises constructed near Atlantic Avenue.

I've got bad news if you're looking for an apartment. All of these neighborhoods have some of the smallest inventory of apartments. Be flexible on your timeline and/or the areas you'll consider. You will see lots of townhouses, but you might not like the price points. While more affordable than Brooklyn Heights, the price tags are still premium.
