The condo is situated in an area that is part of historic East New York, which has faced decades of adversity but has become popular as of late. It's a large area that contains Spring Creek Towers, formerly called Starrett City, the country's largest affordable housing complex that's practically a self-contained city. The neighborhood skirts Queens to the east, with Brownsville and Canarsie to the west, and Jamaica Bay lapping along the southern edge. Due to it's close proximity to JFK Airport, major development projects and strong community groups, there is a draw for first-time homeowners. "It's one of the few value plays still left in Brooklyn in terms of home purchasing, so if your goal is to get in the door, it still provides that." Among recent changes to the neighborhood are the addition of a massive state park and a destination shopping mall. Upcoming projects include overhauling Broadway Junction, a major transfer point in nearby Cypress Hills, and developing master-planned communities with affordable housing.
