Location of Real World Brooklyn.

Real World

MTV’s show “Real World” is about seven people who live in one house. It is a reality show. The last season’s location was Brooklyn, New York; more specifically the neighborhood of Red Hook. When you watch the show you see t the cast doesn’t really appear to hang out in Red Hook. They are either in Williamsburg or in Manhattan.

Red Hook

Red Hook is a developing neighborhood, but it still hasn’t developed enough. The only thing that really

brings people to Red Hook is Ikea, the Swedish furniture store. I thing this neighborhood has potential to

be the kind of place where you would want to be .
