Prospect Heights Real Estate

Prospect Heights is home to some of Brooklyn’s most treasured cultural gems, including the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the beautiful Botanic Garden as well as, of course, the vast Olmstead-designed Prospect Park. The vast green spaces, lakes, tennis center and seemingly endless recreation opportunities of this 585-acre urban oasis put the neighborhood in a sweet-spot location for everyone from families to young professionals seeking the best of city life.

Streets lined with lovely 19th century brownstones and row houses have brought buyers from neighboring Park Slope seeking a better deal in this convenient, livable neighborhood—though the bustling shopping corridor of 7th Avenue in the 'Slope is just a short walk away. The popular restaurant row, shops and flea markets of Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill and Fort Greene are nearby as well.

Manhattan was not the only borough to feel the impact of the building boom at the turn of this century with the Richard Meier-designed One Prospect Park—just off Grand Army Plaza with its terrific greenmarket—offering amazing park views in addition to modern amenities. Subways are plentiful—the 2, 3, 4, 5, and Q trains all stop nearby.
