Our Take
While Brooklyn's 11215 neighborhood has excellent schools and a high median income, its extremely high median home price and lack of walkability may make it less desirable for some. The area is also prone to high price volatility, which could be a concern for homeowners. However, its low flood risk and short commute to Midtown Manhattan are definite advantages.
