DUMBO.
Beautifully cared for.

Homes
in DUMBO.

The numbers for DUMBO cover the whole Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO and Boerum Hill tabulation area, so the towers of Downtown Brooklyn count along with the lofts: 28,532 homes in 1,511 residential buildings. Condominiums hold 44 percent of the homes and elevator buildings 40 percent; walk-ups hold 8 percent and one and two family houses 3 percent. This is mostly new housing. Of all the homes, 62 percent were built in 2000 or later, the median year built is 2010, and the median home is in a building 17 floors tall. Prewar buildings, finished before 1940, hold 26 percent, among them the warehouses and factory buildings turned into apartments, and close to half of all homes sit in towers of 20 floors or more.

A DUMBO pickup usually runs through the building's own arrangements. In a tower or a condominium that often means a loading entrance and a booked elevator window. In a converted warehouse the freight elevator may be the only car long enough for a rolled room size rug, so give the rug's length when you book. Write the vendor hours and the name of whoever staffs the desk under Building access on the tag. The streets by the bridges are busy, so tell us where there is room to pull up.
