Eye On Real Estate
By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea.
Can you hear this song from long ago wafting on the summer breeze?
It was written a century ago, back when Brooklyn’s Atlantic Ocean shoreline was a dreamy get-away from the rigors of workaday life in the big city.
It made perfect sense that back then, at the start of the 20th century, the builders of Homecrest by the Sea gave this poetic name to the neighborhood just east of Gravesend and north of Sheepshead Bay.
