About Crown Heights, Brooklyn

Crown Heights runs east from Prospect Park along Franklin, Nostrand, and Eastern Parkway, and it has some of the best pre-war housing stock in Brooklyn — limestone rowhouses and large apartment buildings with three- and four-bedroom layouts and original detail.

Getting to work from Crown Heights, Brooklyn

The 2, 3, 4, and 5 along Eastern Parkway reach Midtown in about 30 minutes, and the S shuttle and C cover the rest. Franklin Ave is the transfer point that makes most of the borough reachable.

Who shares apartments here

Teachers, nurses, nonprofit and city workers, grad students, and long-standing Caribbean and Hasidic communities. More families and fewer short-term renters than Bushwick.

The trade-off

The blocks nearest Prospect Park cost noticeably more than those east of Nostrand, and the commute is longer than the L. In exchange you get square footage and pre-war character that Williamsburg new builds don't have.
