5 two bedrooms near the newly expanded Kosciuszko Bridge, where parks are planned, for $825,000 or less
This Greenpoint unit has one true bedroom plus a large mezzanine. It's steps from the bridge, which has a new 20-foot-wide bike and pedestrian path.
The second span of the Kosciuszko Bridge opened late last month, giving drivers access to five Queens-bound and four Brooklyn-bound lanes. The addition is expected to significantly cut down on traffic jams leading up to the bridge along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
But it isn’t just drivers who’ll be pleased with the changes. The new span also offers a 20-foot-wide bike and pedestrian path, and there are plans to add parks under the bridge on both sides.
“These neighborhoods will be transformed by this bike path and new parks,” says Liat Halpern, an urban planner at home search platform Localize.city. “The bike lane across the Kosciuszko Bridge will make it a lot safer to travel across boroughs. And the parks will make a huge difference. The nearest park on the Queens side is almost 30 minutes away and there are no playgrounds anywhere nearby. The Brooklyn park will be much larger and really serve as a community gathering place."
"As annoying as the construction and traffic might have been, it’s going to be a whole lot nicer living in Greenpoint and Maspeth now,” Halpern says.
