The list, according to Curbed, shows a turn away from trendy North Brooklyn in the wake of the looming L-train shutdown, slated to begin in April. The other Brooklyn neighborhoods named on the list are East Flatbush, Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant.

As of October, renter demand for Williamsburg apartments fell by 1 percent at the same time that demand has risen in every other New York neighborhood, Curbed said.
