Crown Heights Real Estate

Crown Heights is a north-central Brooklyn neighborhood bounded by the neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Downtown Brooklyn, Flatbush and Brownsville.

Row houses are typical here, some of which are lovingly restored to their 19th century glory. Neo-Georgian, Renaissance and Baroque Revival homes and newly-minted condominium buildings with modern amenities can all be found here. Crown Heights is home to very diverse population—the annual West Indian Carnival is one of the City's most anticipated festivals, bringing over three million celebrants—and the neighborhood has attracted artists and young professionals seeking more affordable living. The neighborhood's cultural mix has resulted in a growing number of cafes and restaurants offering everything from Indian food to brick-oven pizza and bagels.

Residents are never far from world-class cultural attractions like the Brooklyn Museum, Children's Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, Prospect Park—with its 585-acres of green lawns, lakes, a tennis center and seemingly endless recreation opportunities—and the romantic walkways of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The popular dining and shopping neighborhood of Park Slope lies just to the west.

Express subway lines (2, 3, 4, and 5) make it a quick trip to other parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, and a shuttle along Franklin Avenue allows travel through Brooklyn to the north and south. Eastern Parkway provides easy access by car as well.
