The Brooklyn sales market continues its ascendance, even as Manhattan calms down a little. Among the top five most expensive neighborhoods in the city sits DUMBO, one of the borough's most coveted neighborhoods. For the high-end buyer looking for a perch there, a handful of properties are hosting open houses this weekend:

206 Front Street, Apartment 6C. Yes, this two-bedroom's not exactly in the heart of DUMBO—it's on the border of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill, per the listing, but it's worth a visit if only to check out its sweeping views from its tall windows and private terrace. Asking price: $1.435 million. Open house: Sunday, October 16, 2:30 pm to 4 pm.

51 Jay Street, Apartment 1R. A 2421-square-foot loft with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, extra-high ceilings, and a private terrace. Asking price: $3.55 million. Open house: Saturday, October 15, by appointment only.

185 Plymouth Street, Apartment 3N. This 2992-square-foot loft has three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, keyed elevator entry, original beams and posts, large windows that frame open-sky views, and more. Asking price: $3.99 million. Open house: Sunday, October 16, 2 pm to 4 pm.

1 John Street, Penthouse A. This 2994-square-foot four-bedroom, four-bath penthouse has sweeping views of the river and the Manhattan Bridge. Asking price: $7,116,646. Open house: Sunday, October 16, 12 noon to 1:30 pm.
