| Covering a geographic area of only one quarter of a square mile, the up and coming neighborhood of Prospect Heights is definitely the place that prospective Brooklyn, New York buyers are talking about. For property owners, the area between Park Slope and Park Greene represents a present and future gold mine, as surrounding areas become increasingly saturated and Prospect Heights condos and other forms of Prospect Heights real estate become even more desirable.
Located on the Northern side of Prospect Park, Prospect Heights real estate stretches from Eastern Parkway to Atlantic Avenue and from Flatbush Avenue to Bedford Avenue. With the F train stopping at 15th Street and Prospect Park, the area is easily accessible to and from Manhattan, making it an ideal commute.
Prospect Heights real estate has an appeal that covers a myriad of areas. With its turn of the century brownstones, its 1920s apartment buildings, and its many historical and landmark edifices, the neighborhood is an architectural dream. While once in a state of serious disrepair, Prospect Heights now represents the center of Brooklyn’s brownstone revival.
Other attractions come from the many projects that contribute to the cultural revival in the area. Frank Gehry’s Atlantic Yards project, located on 22 acres of land and built over the train yard used by the Long Island Railroad, is one such example. With its 16 buildings, including the Barklays Center (the new home of the New Jersey Nets), the project is a major attraction. Then there is Richard Meier’s contribution to Grand Army Plaza, the 11-acre oval plaza that forms the main entrance to Prospect Park. Originally designed by Fredrick Law Olmstead and Calvery Vaux, Meier’s signature work is a superb calling card, representing new energy in the neighborhood.
In addition, the Grand Army Plaza at Eastern Parkway is adding a new plaza and a 200-seat auditorium as part of its 16.5 million dollar renovation. With a children’s reading room, a library of 1.5 million books, and free WiFi service, along with a Saturday Green Market, the Plaza makes a strong contribution to Prospect Heights’ appeal. Homebuyers will surely be drawn to Brooklyn’s other staples: the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Public Library.
With its many tree-lined streets, living in Prospect Heights condos provides residents with a great sense of neighborhood belonging. The neighborhood is known for being home to a wide variety of Italian, Irish, Jewish, African American, and Caribbean immigrants. The area speaks of diversity and offers residents a taste of everything. Schools are abundant, including Acorn Community High School, Berkeley Carroll School, Bethel Elementary, and Bishop Ford Catholic High School, making Prospect Heights real estate an ideal choice for families who want to get out of the hectic real estate market of Manhattan.
When it comes to dining, Prospect Heights features restaurants and cafes such as the Brooklyn Blue Ribbon on 280 5th Avenue, Rose Water on 787 Union Street, Café Steinhof (a traditional Viennese bar and café) on 422 7th Ave, Up Over Jazz Café on 351 Flatbush, Loki Lounge on 304 5th Ave, Bob Law’s Seafood Café on 637 Vanderbilt Ave, and Joyce (homemade granola and bourbon pecan cookies at 75 cents a pop), which represent just a few of the fabulous eateries found in the area. Within easy access to all airports and boroughs, Prospect Heights makes an ideal central location for residents who commute or travel.
