Jennifer Williams says she often feels like the oldest person on her block. When the 52-year-old corporate communications executive sets off for work in a suit, carrying a briefcase, with her hair in a bun, she is usually surrounded by young people with tattoos and rainbow crocheted skull caps. "It's like mom is coming in for a visit," she says.

Nerou Cheng, 63, spent $1.03 million on an apartment in the Edge, a condo building in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where many of the building's younger residents like to sunbathe outside.

That doesn't bother Ms. Williams. In fact, such diversity is exactly what she was looking for when she bought a condo in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn two years ago, after living in what she calls the "dead zone" of the Upper East Side of Manhattan. "I find it endlessly fascinating and interesting. I wanted to be somewhere with energy and life."

she just LOVES being around all these young people and all their ENERGY and DRIVE. She just wants to soak it right up, I'm sure the Hipsters wont mind.
