“Mill Basin is a place of boaters and sun lovers. Streets curve along almost 360 degrees of waterfront, with docks sticking out from houses like sassy protruding tongues. Boat trailers park on front lawns; swimming pools are abundant. Some visitors liken the neighborhood to Miami. It certainly doesn’t feel like [Brooklyn](http://topics.nytimes.com/top/classifieds/realestate/locations/newyork/newyorkcity/brooklyn/?inline=nyt-geo&ref=bklyner.com)” [The New York Times remarks in its latest review of Mill Basin](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/26/realestate/mill-basin-brooklyn-house-proud-but-not-too-accessible.html?action=click&contentCollection=Real%20Estate&pgtype=imageslideshow&module=RelatedArticleList®ion=SlideShowTopBar&version=EndSlate&ref=bklyner.com).

#### “The Vibe

This house-proud community is not afraid to lard on the ironwork and topiary. Most of the people out on a weekday summer afternoon had some kind of landscaping tool in their hands or were making noises behind construction barriers.”

Does that sound like the Mill Basin you know?
