Prospect Park South
As its name suggests, the neighborhood known as Prospect Park South shares its northern border with the 526-acre Frederick Law Olmstead-designed Prospect Park, which offers vast green lawns, lakes, a seasonal skating rink, paddleboats, tennis, baseball and more organized activities than you could imagine. Another urban oasis—the landmarked Green-Wood cemetery with its acres of natural beauty, wildlife and landscaped park land—lies to the west.
The residential streets of Prospect Park South are home to over 200 large, beautiful historic homes (most of the neighborhood is contained within a historic landmark district) with a vast range of remarkable architecture in evidence among them. Available housing for sale is tough to find in this exclusive community zoned for single-family houses, each on a 50-by-100-foot lot. Though the tiny neighborhood is zoned residential-only, nearby Cortelyou Road offers a lively mix of restaurants, cafes, bookstores and a natural-food co-op, and the amenities of Flatbush Avenue and the popular restaurants and shops of Park Slope are only a subway stop or two away on the Q line, and the historic homes and new restaurants of Midwood '>Ditmas Park are nearby as well.
The neighborhood is served by the B and Q subway lines for a quick commute to Downtown Brooklyn and lower Manhattan.
