I have no crystal ball but this neighborhood seems like a pretty safe bet as it's only 12minutes to manhattan on the E or F train and has other nice amenities. Plus more and more artists (not the 20-somethings, but the older ones) are moving there for cheaper housing from whatever neighborhoods they used to live in in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The gay population found it years ago.
Isn't that all you need in order to predict the next up and coming neighborhood - wherever the gay people and artists are living, mixed in with fast transportation to manhattan?
Bay Ridge brooklyn would also be on my short list, as well as Ditmas Park.

Yeah but just how the Bronx has a stigma for urban decay, Queens has a stigma for immigrant families. That's why it will belong to the immigrants, so it won't be "hip", ever. Brooklyn has a "cooler" stigma
I wanted to add that the artists are moving there DESPITE the lack of any studio/workspace available in the neighborhood. Some artists are working from home because the apartments tend to be very large and others are commuting to studios in Bushwick, Williamsburg, LIC, Chelsea and Greenpoint.

Luckily the artists that I know who are moving to JH are not particularly interested in 'hip' and would prefer great access to cheap authentic tasty immigrant cuisine.
