No surprise here:Brooklyn real estatehas hit a record high
And the rental market’s no better—the “Brooklyn Bargain” is fading fast, and renters are heading to Queens
The combination—plus theeasier mortgage standards—will likely push city dwellers into the ‘burbs…

A great way to help kids visualize what life in their new digs will be like? A special “room board” they can design that shows off how they’ll decorate their bedroom—think of it as a real-life Pinterest board, for kids!
