Willliamsburg is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. A traditionally Hispanic and Jewish neighborhood that has become a home for artists and "hipsters" since the late 1990s due to the potential for low rents. Home of a vibrant music and art community. As of 2006, the march of gentrification is quickening, with several upscale condo towers either under construction or recently completed, and the neighborhood's characteristic low rents becoming increasingly difficult to find.
