Variety in architecture and community in South Brooklyn
A small neighborhood on the northern border of Sheepshead Bay, Homecrest is one of the most diverse areas in South Brooklyn. In the 20th century, it was a haven for immigrants from Europe, and later Asia, developing into a robust residential neighborhood. A mix of mid-rise co-op and condo buildings, as well as single-family homes and rowhouses, provide architectural variety and give the area an authentic feel, says local real estate salesperson Andrew Appell. “Homecrest has an essence of city living but with a sleepier vibe,” he says. “You have chains like Chipotle and Starbucks and still have mom-and-pop shops. It’s not super artsy and creative, and it’s not Bushwick – and proud to not be that. But it has a quieter, more removed vibe.” Appell also notes that since the neighborhood is sandwiched between more established areas, Homecrest tends to draw a different crowd. “You’ll hear people speaking with an old-school Brooklyn accent, which is like a lost art, but there are also immigrants and new people coming in, and that creates a unique blended community,” he says.

Midcentury co-ops and prewar single-family homes
Similar to adjacent neighborhoods, Homecrest features a mix of prewar rowhouses, detached single-family homes, and mid-rise co-op and condo buildings. “Traditionally, far-south Brooklyn is outside of what anyone would consider prime market because it’s a bit further than more urban areas, but it offers good value," Appell says, adding that the area is seeing more development. "There's a refresh in the area in general, with more residential and commercial development and boutiquey condos that the area has never had before." A one-bedroom unit in a midcentury brick co-op building runs $220,000 to $400,000. In a newer condo building on Ocean Avenue, a one-bedroom costs between $400,000 and $500,000. Stately brick Romanesque rowhouses with multiple bedrooms and three floors can sell for $1.2 million. Detached single-family homes with private driveways run between $1 million and $2.6 million.
Midcentury single-family homes are popular in Homecrest.

A range of cuisine types and Asian grocery stores
The uptick in development has also brought increased commercial activity. "In general, there is a buzz to Kings Highway and more businesses are coming in," Appell says. "But there is a good mix of big-box and mom-and-pop. Chains coming into the area mean something for a sleepy area like this." Russian, Turkish and Vietnamese restaurants along Avenue U showcase the variety of cuisines available in the neighborhood. A small Chinatown area has cropped up, with Asian grocery stores and restaurants like Golden Z, which serves Cantonese barbecue, and Junes Bakery & Café, which offers Hong Kong-style noodle dishes. Georgian food, including chicken kebabs, can be found at Gulchatay. Avenue U is also home to many small food marts and supermarkets, but larger grocery stores, including Okka Foods Market and Domino are located along Kings Highway. Target and TJ Maxx are nearby.

Playgrounds and tennis courts at Kelly Park Playground
Parks are sparse within Homecrest, but some of Brooklyn’s largest are only minutes away. “The neighborhood lacks in green spaces,” Appell says. “There are very cute small parks and playgrounds, but no traditional sprawling green spaces.” Pocket parks include Mellett Playground and Kelly Park Playground, which also features tennis courts. Residents also have access to larger recreational areas like Marine Park 1 mile east or Prospect Park to the north. “And if you’re up to taking the subway or biking, you can be taking in the saltwater air on Coney Island in no time,” Appell says.
