The 2008 Boerum Hill house tour was edited into a virtual tour- check it out below. Lot of fun & fascinating facts you always wished you knew about BH.
Did you hear the G train will be expanding service through Boerum Hill all the way to Church Av in Kensington? It’s true. Beginning July 5th. Now you don’t have to just wait for an F to get to Prospect Park. Huzzah.
