Welcome to Williamsburg
Williamsburg has quickly become one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods, and is known throughout the world for its unique bars, cafes, and restaurants, its vibrant art and music scene, and some of the best shopping in all of New York City. Four Oaks’ properties on North 5th Street are centrally located, just around the corner from long-time neighborhood favorites like the original Momofuku Milk Bar, St. Anselm, the Commodore and famous beer bar Spuyten Duyvil, while still providing quick access to national retailers such as Apple and Whole Foods. North 5th Street is less than a 5-minute walk from both the L-Train stop at Bedford Avenue and the G-train stop at Metropolitan Avenue. Within a 10-minute walk are the J, M and Z lines at Marcy Avenue and the East River Ferry at North 6th Street and Kent Avenue. New van service Chariot also has a stop around the corner on Metropolitan Avenue.
