Quiet luxury near Prospect Park
When most people think of historic brownstone Brooklyn, a few areas come to mind. But when compared to Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill, Park Slope covers more space and has more variety of homes. The large, family-friendly neighborhood sits in the center of the borough and right next to Prospect Park. Quiet tree-lined streets play host to well-preserved Victorian-style townhomes. Park Slope was one of the first Brooklyn neighborhoods to undergo late 20th-century revitalization. Today, top-ranked schools, eclectic eateries, independent boutiques and cooperative food markets add to its progressive yet vintage charm. “We have a wholesome Sesame Street-like lifestyle here,” says Jessica Levy Buchman, a local resident and broker with Corcoran. “Things move a bit slower. People sit on their stoops and interact with their neighbors.”

Modern condos join historical brownstones
Park Slope is defined by tranquil streets lined with old-growth trees and wide slate sidewalks. Late 19th-century brownstones are the norm on side streets and come in a wide variety of architectural styles: Italianate, French Second Empire, Greek Revival, Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival. These ornate townhomes range from $2.5 million to $8.5 million, depending on size and condition. A few stately mansions, especially those situated along Prospect Park West, can often surpass the $10 million mark. Prewar co-ops are common in the area and go for between $580,000 and $950,000, depending on size. A recent crop of modern high-rise condo towers line 4th Avenue, with two-bedroom units priced at $900,000 to $2.5 million. “These buildings are great for homeowners that want the brownstone Brooklyn experience but with easy, uncomplicated high-rise living,” says Buchman.

526 acres of amenity-rich Prospect Park

Numerous baseball fields, tennis courts and playgrounds are encircled by a car-free road dedicated to joggers and cyclists. The adjacent Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Public Library main branch are important cultural venues. Deeper in the neighborhood, Washington Park has popular basketball courts, a playground and dog run. It also hosts the Down to Earth farmers market held every Sunday.
