2009:  Wow.  Brooklyn Heights is absolutely gorgeous.  Check the pictures and video link above to see pictures.  Tree lined streets, gorgeous brownstones.  Families, students.  Reminded us of Boston, Massachusetts.  Very Boston.  The neighborhood is very quiet, quaint and charming.  All ages, but many successful families walking babies and educated kids.  There are also college residence halls within the neighborhood.

2008:  I hear that the rents here are just as high as in Manhattan.  Lots of brownstones and apartment buildings.

Landmarks in Brooklyn Heights:
St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church (Montague and Clinton Streets)(constructed between 1844 & 1847)
Our Lady of Lebanon Church (Henry and Remsen Streets)
The Brooklyn Historical Society (Pierrepont and Clinton Streets)
Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims (Orange and Hicks Streets)
 
Atmosphere:  Wall Street young professionals and a mix of older and younger people.
