Park Slope
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
Prospect Park is Brooklyn’s green anchor and Park Slope’s main draw. Sprawling lawns for summer picnics give way to hilly woodland pathways and meandering lakes; a dog beach and zoo; the iconic Boathouse, Lena Horne Bandshell and LeFrak Center ice- and roller-skating rink. 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.Popular multicultural eateries and food cooperatives
The neighborhood’s main commercial arteries are 5th and 7th avenues with an endless offering of independent restaurants and boutiques. The hippest bars and bistros can be found on 7th, while essential shops are on 5th. Bangkok Degree is among a slew of popular Thai spots. Bricolage serves updated Vietnamese classics. The Gate is one of the area’s best-rated bars. Upscale restaurant Al di la Trattoria hints to Park Slope’s Italian American heritage. To the North, Flatbush Avenue has big box shops like Target and Apple. While Union Market grocery stores can be found throughout the area, members-run Park Slope Food Coop stocks local, organic produce.New York City’s second-largest farmer’s market and a Halloween tradition
On most Saturdays, since 1989, residents from Park Slope and surrounding neighborhoods have flocked to the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket. As the second largest farmer’s market in New York City, the weekly event welcomes diverse vendors from throughout the tri-state area. Owing to the neighborhood’s family-oriented atmosphere, the annual Park Slope Halloween Parade shuts down much of 7th Avenue. Local store owners dress up and hand out candy.High schools in top city rankings
Park Slope has some of the best schools in Brooklyn and are often within walking distance of most homes. Students can begin at P.S. 118 The Maurice Sendak Community School with an A from Niche and focus on intellectual development rather than test scores. With an A-minus and a 15 to 1 student-to-teacher ratio, P.S. 321 - William Penn is another great option. Covering Grades 6 to 8, the A-rated M.S. 51 William Alexander Middle School balances rigorous academics with an in-depth three-year arts program. Millennium Brooklyn High School has a project-based curriculum and an A-plus rating. Pre-K to 12th grade private school Berkeley Carroll inspires critical, ethical and global thinking.Subway links to Manhattan and rail service to Long Island
Park Slope is well connected with 2, 3, B and Q subways running along Flatbush Avenue. The F and G trains connect through two stations on 9th Street. Nearby Atlantic Terminal has Long Island Rail Road service to points east.
