I lived in Brooklyn for 6 years, moved to JC, and just moved back to Brooklyn. JC is a perfectly fine place to live. But if you value the ability to explore new spots and be part of the culture of nyc don’t move to JC. Like others said, it’s a place to settle down. It has a couple good restaurants, but you’d want to be comfortable either going to the same 2 or 3 you like, or commuting to the west village on the path.

As someone who lives in Brooklyn - my opinion is it’s now objectively cooler than Manhattan. I live in Clinton hill, but Williamsburg is probably the best urban streetscape in nyc right now
