A Little About This Space
Williams Ave. is the grittier and industrial New York that older New Yorkers are familiar with. It lies in East New York, a working class neighborhood that has yet to be affected by bubbles of gentrification that has taken over other parts of Brooklyn This two-floor retail space for rent with a stand-out black storefront has an elegant skylight and roof access.
THE CROWD
It's an odd stretch with residential properties, used warehouse buildings and two schools so there's a lot of working class families living here. You can expect more people around on weekdays, you'll see them on their way to and from work or on a school run. The Alabama Ave. Station is a block away.
MEET THE NEIGHBOURS
Next door is a the fast food chain, Subway, and across the street is an auto body shop. Around the block is a liquor store, an Imperial Inn, and a Baptist church.

Home Truths
The area attracts high crime activity, but it's slowly starting to change as low rents in the neighborhood are bringing in young professionals and artists.
