Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings of 2021: A Clinton Hill Carriage House, a Ditmas Park Manse

Looking back at the listings that readers were drawn to in 2021, it’s clear that it wasn’t the big ticket properties that were the draw. Only three of the most popular listings were priced over the $2 million mark, with half of the list made up of properties under $1 million — even a rental made the list.

While a few neighborhoods are represented, Bay Ridge proved the most popular with three entries and Brooklyn Heights came next with two. The other neighborhoods that made the list are Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Clinton Hill, Ditmas Park and Dyker Heights.

Which would you choose?
