About Brighton Beach

Brighton Beach might be a vacation destination to many New York City residents, but it is also home to many Brooklyn residents that love living right by the ocean. The community of Brighton Beach is located in the southern region of Brooklyn, in the great state of New York, and is a diverse community that boasts many fun things to do.

Because of its location near Coney Island, Brighton Beach residents have access to all of the fun amusement parks that Coney Island has to offer. For this reason, many people who want to enjoy Coney Island while on vacation will stay in Brighton Beach. Brighton Beach attracts its own fair share of tourism with long beachfront properties and vacation rentals galore. For many big-city dwellers in both New York City and Brooklyn, Brighton Beach serves as a close "get-away" that gives visitors a breath of fresh, ocean air, and a nearby place in which to enjoy the great outdoors. Thanks to the great public transportation system and access to subway lines directly from New York City, Brighton Beach is very easy to access, making it even more popular to New York City residents looking for a quick and easy beach getaway.

A rough patch in Brighton Beach's history occurred after the second World War. Crime was high and poverty was on the rise, and arson had destroyed or damaged many buildings throughout the community. During this time, the Soviet Union collapsed, leading thousands and thousands of Russian families to travel to the United States in search of a better life. Brighton Beach experienced a large influx of Russian immigrants during this time, and it shaped the culture of this quickly changing area of Brooklyn. Because Brighton Beach was in need of change and development, the Russian culture took over in many places and opened up small family-owned businesses, restaurants, and other shops that are still here in Brighton Beach to this day. As a result, many Brighton Beach residents speak both Russian and English fluently. Residents of Brighton Beach love that their city is so diverse when it comes to the convergence of unique cultures.

Because Brighton Beach has such a strong Russian influence, it naturally has a thriving Russian ballet school. The Brighton Ballet Theater is one of the best ballet schools in the state, and even in the country, bringing in dancers from around the world. More than just a ballet school, the Brighton Ballet Theater also trains dancers in jazz, contemporary dance, and more.
