Several years ago, 6sqft referred to Sheepsheads Bay as "the once-sleepy waterfront community that’s almost as far out as Coney Island." Since then, a slew of new projects has started to rise in the neighborhood, including the tallest residential building in South Brooklyn and a luxury condo with prices up to $1.7 million. Adding to the buzz is a new affordable housing lottery at 2442 Ocean Avenue, a seven-story, 105-unit rental building that, thanks to its U-shaped design, offers an interior courtyard and many outdoor terraces. The 35 middle-income apartments up for grabs are available to those earning 130 percent of the area median income and range from $1,450/month studios to $2,499/month two-bedrooms.
