Anyone look into moving into Gerritsen Beach?
It seems to be one of the only affordable area in Brooklyn.
I know there are no frum people there yet and also no shuls there, but with prices so cheap why isn't anyone moving there.

I think the area of marine park I live in is considered geritsen beach. There r shuls and frum ppl.
Do u mean like those little houses near the water. There r no frum ppl. And I doubt we'd feel very welcomed if we moved in.

Thanks.
Where is the closest shul to the water?
I have visited the beach there and thought that would be perfect place for a young frum family. There are so many houses for sale there under $350,000 it would be great if a bunch of frum families bought there and made it the next frum area.

Dunno the closest shul but I think they're all on minyan maps. I think ud have s hard time getting a group of young frum families to move near the water. It's a really tight knit community. And maybe a bit xenophobic. I doubt they'd allow that to happen.
Even where I live everyone looks out for each other. My neighbor once proudly pointed out that there r no black ppl around here!
And when a neighbor sold her house to a Sephardic family her neighbor said I can't believe u sold to Persians. How could u do that!!
I haven't encountered any blatant antisemitism but it's there just beneath the surface. Oh and some shul members have been the victims of antisemitic acts. Like having pennies thrown at them or...
