Often referred to as “Little Odessa” due to its tight-knit Russian and Eastern European communities, Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach is a lively neighborhood with many high-rise residential buildings, traditionally ethnic restaurants and food markets. The beach and boardwalk here are more laid-back than nearby Coney Island, catering largely to locals, while splashy nightclubs attract partiers in the evenings.
Renters occupy about 70-percent of the units in the neighborhood while owners occupy the remainder; in Brighton Beach, roughly three-quarters of dwellings are large apartment buildings, while the rest are mainly small apartment complexes. When it comes to food, it is very often possible for home renters in this part of the city to shop for general and specialty groceries by walking.
Property renters in Brighton Beach are served with several options to travel without the need for a car, including two rapid transit stations on the Q train line and a few nearby bus lines.
The train takes riders to the full-size Brighton Beach station, while some bus lines serve Coney Island. The Q Line is also useful for beach goers headed to Coney Island.
Local buses make regular stops in the neighborhood on their way elsewhere; home renters can find service along major thoroughfares like Flatbush Avenue and Ocean Parkway or head to the boardwalk by taking the B1, B6, B68, X27/X28 or B82 routes. Taxis are another great option for local travel around this area of Brooklyn; they frequently run on Kings Highway (north-south) while Flatbush Avenue (east-west) sees less traffic congestion.
While some people walk or commute via public transportation to reach their job outside the neighborhood, others drive; if they need to commute to the airport from Brighton Beach, options include John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Excepting cab rides, travelers should budget between 20 minutes and an hour depending on where they are going.
