There are many "amenities" in Bushwick, but they are mostly targeted to a low-income Hispanic population. There is a lot of great Latin food, decent grocery shopping, plenty of laundromats and an overabundance of cellphone and 99-cent stores. The main shopping drags are Broadway under the J between Gates and Myrtle, and Knickerbocker starting at Myrtle going toward Maria Hernandez Park. Bushwick has already gotten quite expensive, and its rapid gentrification is hurting longtime residents who kept it alive after the devastating 1977 blackout.
I have no doubt that Bushwick will only grow in popularity--it's an easy commute to desirable parts of Brooklyn as well as Manhattan. Bushwick is on the come up in connection with real estate.
