#UhaulFamous Photos from Brooklyn

May 5, 2015

This year’s Migration Trends Report is out and at No. 6, we have Brooklyn. The effects of gentrification on the city can now be seen at every corner. New cafes, restaurants and boutiques line the streets of Brooklyn. You can find art galleries and all the creative types have made Brooklyn their home. It’s also home to one of the most hipster areas in the country! Williamsburg is easily one of the most popular and exciting neighborhoods in the city. While the cost of living in Brooklyn is higher than the country average, it’s a price many are willing to pay in order to live in the beautiful city of Brooklyn. We asked some of our Brooklyn movers to share with us their moving experience. Check out their moving stories through #UhaulFamous photos below:
