New York Times Real Estate Section calls Red Hook "Treasure Isle"

A profile in the New York Times last week touted Red Hook's unique "small-town feel" and distinctive waterfront charms as reasons for a recent real estate boom in the neighborhood.

The article quotes longtime resident Frank Galeano, who recalls a community filled with "so many abandoned buildings that he and his friends used them as 'clubhouses,' running extension cords from nearby streetlights" in the 1960s. This vision runs in stark contrast to the Red Hook of today, where a "proudly self-selecting group" drawn to its cobblestone streets, waterfront views, and "off-the-grid ambience" will pay upwards of $1 million for the few houses that come onto the market.
