This photo is a branch of the Long Island Rail freight route which still serves Bushwick, a neighborhood in northeast Brooklyn. Known for its industrial landscape, indie bars, affordable "warehousing", Latino population and ideal placement on the NY subway line; Bushwick has become a desirable location for the young hipsters who flock to this fringe community. Skinny jeans, paperback novels stuffed into back pockets, stylish mullets, dexter glasses, stripped bikes, i phones and scarves define the look of this middle class population "having a go" at a bohemian life. Bushwick hipsters who are looking to invest in their community as first time home buyers will surely gravitate towards warehouse condos where warn patina contrasts nicely with sleek technology and homey stylings.I have chosen to highlight the Bushwick hipsters, because I believe they set a standard (in a way) for the generation Y hipsters across the nation. In my mind, these are the model clientele for affordable (~$150,000) urban warehouse condos.
