Columbia Waterfront - rugged, diverse, and gayer than Park Slope



In this report from The Brooklyn Paper, Natalie O'Neill digs through the New York Times' intense graphic analysis of the 2010 census report and discovers that sleepy Columbia Street (aka "Census Tract 47") has the highest percentage of same-sex couples in the borough.

Why might that be? According to the article, "Gays and lesbians say that Columbia Street offers the best of both worlds: it has a small-town feeling without the 'small-town mentality'.”

Brian McCormick (pictured above with partner Scott Page in a photo by Stefano Giovannini) sums up the neighborhood's charms: "There's a sense of rugged individualism and diversity."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Stop by the office at 223 Columbia and we'll show you around.
