About Bushwick, Brooklyn

Bushwick sits east of Williamsburg along the Myrtle-Wyckoff and Jefferson corridors, and it's the cheapest large roommate market within 30 minutes of Manhattan. Housing is walk-up railroad apartments and converted lofts, with three- and four-bedroom shares common — which is what keeps per-room rent under $1,200 here.

Getting to work from Bushwick, Brooklyn

The L from Jefferson, DeKalb, or Myrtle-Wyckoff reaches Union Square in 25-30 minutes; the M and J run to Midtown via the Williamsburg Bridge. Late-night L service is the practical limit on how far east you want to be.

Who shares apartments here

Artists, musicians, designers, hospitality workers, and early-career media and tech people, alongside long-established Latino and Caribbean communities.

The trade-off

Railroad layouts mean bedrooms open into each other — check for real doors and windows before you sign. Blocks vary sharply street to street, and it's a long ride home from Manhattan at 2am.
