Situated by the Williamsburg Bridge, South Williamsburg is filled with old warehouses and factories. These buildings along with the nabe's rowhouses have become new homes for young artists, musicians and scenesters seeking low rents. As opposed to Williamsburg proper, South Williamsburg is in an earlier stage of gentrification, and is thus markedly more diverse and off the beaten path. The neighborhood has several celebrated restaurants and is considered one of the top up-and-coming neighborhoods in north Brooklyn.
