Commons -- the area contains several parks, and the NYCHA Red Hook Houses are the largest public housing development in Brooklyn, accommodating about 5,000 residents.
Transportation -- Subway service to the area is space and Bus service is the most popular form of transportation. Red Hook is connected to Mahnhattan by a vehicle-only Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel (toll). The Red Hook Container Terminal is one of four such facilities in the Port of New York, and the only maritime facility in Brooklyn capable of handling container ships. In 2006, a new Carnival Cruise line terminal opened at Pier 12, hoping to boost tourism.
Service Centers -- Numerous schools, elementary; a few middle schools, one larger High School; research also shows a number of private schools in the area.
Stores -- in 2008 large IKEA opened up with a water taxi bringing shoppers from Manhattan. The water taxi has a fee, but that is reimbursed when individuals purchase from IKEA. This discourages locals from using it as transportation. Other stores are mostly smaller mom-and-pop grocers, etc.
Street People -- Problematic, as in most of NYC.
Signs of Decay -- Improving, still many abandoned buildings awaiting renovation.
Ethnicity -- Mixed, mostly Latino and African-American.

Politics -- New York style, part of Brooklyn borough.
Media -- it was not until 2010 that Red Hook's first community newspaper, the Red Hook Star Review, began publishing.
