Is Midwood, Brooklyn a Good Neighborhood?
Our Take: Absolutely. At The Behfar Team, we see Midwood as Brooklyn’s premier “residential retreat.” If you want manicured lawns and quiet nights without leaving NYC, this is it.
Is Midwood safe for families? Yes. It remains one of the safest precincts in the borough. You’ll see neighbors walking at night and kids playing on porches—it has a genuine small-town community feel.
What is the Midwood real estate market like in 2026? Inventory is at historic lows. We’re seeing a massive trend of “forever homes” where families combine lots. If a detached house hits the market, expect a bidding war.
Is the commute to Manhattan difficult? Not at all. The B and Q express trains from Avenue J or Kings Highway get you to Union Square in about 35 minutes.
What is the “vibe” of the local shopping? Avenue J and Avenue M are the heart of the neighborhood. Think local bakeries, high-end kosher dining, and boutique shops rather than big-chain retail.
