Nestled in the Vinegar Hill section of DUMBO, The Waterford offers luxury units & amenities on a tree-lined side street 3 blocks from the 85-acre waterfront Brooklyn Bridge Park, with panoramic views of downtown Manhattan. A tasteful low-rise building, The Waterford aesthetically matches neighboring row houses and converted factories with brick façades and exterior metalwork, paying homage to the riverfront industrial origins of the area. In addition to the many breweries, restaurants, and bookstores of DUMBO, The Waterford is blocks from the newly-redeveloped Navy Yard, home to film production, studios, designers, craft industries, community groups, and a 75,000 ft2 anchor location for Wegman’s. Around the corner find Vinegar Hill House, an original to the Brooklyn New American cuisine scene, and a local favorite for years. 1 subway stop to Manhattan (A,C,F), or minutes driving or biking the bridge on dedicated lanes.
