With a mix of apartment buildings, warehouses, and converted artists lofts, East Williamsburg is part gritty industrial area and part rising creative quarter. Often mis-identified as Bushwick, and sometimes colloquially referred to as Morgantown or Robertasville, East Williamsburg is quickly developing an identity of its own. With plenty of street art, hidden away DIY spaces, historic buildings, tech enterprises, and trendy new shops, East Williamsburg is a place of constant flux, and a happy home for many a self-made creative individual with hustle and heart.
