Homecrest is located in Brooklyn, NYC. The streets Kings Highway and Avenue X in the north and south bound the region, respectively; furthermore it is bounded by the streets Ocean Ave and Coney Island Avenue to the east and west, respectively. Avenue U is well within this region and is the site of increased Asian immigration and settling, it is well on its way to becoming a very prominent Chinatown. As of 2011, this Chinatown was roughly about 10 blocks in size, often compared to the size of Manhattan’s Chinatown in the early 1800s. The “newest” influxes of immigrants (1990s, 2000s) to this area are not only Chinese, however, as multiple Asian ethnicities seem to migrate to this location. Identification of where the Avenue U Chinatown from street-level is fairly easy; the preponderance of Chinese food markets, restaurants, nail salons, etc. is definitely evidence to the fact that Chinese live there. Having lived close by in the past, I can personally attest to the quality of the fish and produce there, haha.
