Composed largely of upper-middle class educated executives, this south Brooklyn enclave is characterized by its row house-lined streets and its highly walkable ambient.  Much of the charm in this neighborhood comes from its aged buildings, with nearly 60% of all structures having been built prior to 1939.  With an eclectic mix of Eastern Europeans, Puerto Ricans, Asians, Italians, and African Americans, the Avenue L neighborhood offers a bit of everything for everyone in an excellent location.
