While Brooklyn's is well known for its stately blocks of 19th-century brownstones, a contemporary crop of townhouses is on the rise. Granting more privacy and space than most multifamily projects, the six modern homes shown below each have more than four bedrooms and are priced no higher than $3.5 million (a relative steal!). When you're done ogling at these avant-garde abodes, cast your vote for your favorite and whip out your checkbooks since these rare spreads won't last long.
