Bushwick is a neighborhood in the northern part of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. The neighborhood, formerly Brooklyn's 18th Ward, is now part of Brooklyn Community Board 4. It is served by the NYPD's 83rd Precinct and is represented in the New York City Council as part of Districts 34 and 37.
Bushwick is bound by Williamsburg to the west, East New York to the east, Bed-Stuy and Brownsville to the south, and Ridgewood, Queens to the north. It is served by Postal Service zip codes 11207, 11221 and 11237. Bushwick was once an independent town and has undergone various territorial changes throughout its history.
The last half of the 20th century transformed Bushwick into a home for
low-income renters in a primarily Hispanic, immigrant community. Ethnic
groups common in the neighborhood are Puerto Ricans, Hondurans,
Dominicans, Mexicans, Ecuadorians, African Americans, Haitians,
Jamaicans, and Afro-Caribbean. There are also smaller numbers of
Chinese, Koreans, Indo-Caribbeans (Guyana and Trinidad), Filipinos, and
Arabs in the area.
Since 2000, the rise of real estate prices in nearby Manhattan has made
the neighborhood more attractive to younger professionals. In the wake of reduced crime rates citywide and a shortage of cheap housing in nearby neighborhoods such as Park Slope and Williamsburg,
an influx of young professionals and artists moved into converted
warehouse lofts, brownstones, limestone-brick townhouses and other
renovated buildings.
