Brooklyn Heights
Tree-lined sidewalks, cobblestone side streets, and a thriving mix of commercial and community-focused businesses make it clear why Brooklyn Heights is known as “America’s original suburb.” From ivy-wrapped row houses to jaw-dropping single family mansions, serenity abounds around every corner.
What to expect
A tranquil Brooklyn lifestyle with surprising convenience to key city hubs.
City-renowned public and private schools top the list of why parents (and those from close-by Dumbo and Cobble Hill) go to great lengths to enroll their kids in the Brooklyn Heights system.
The abundance of quiet streets, public green spaces, and playgrounds make it a welcome area.
Despite the posh suburban perks, city-bound professionals find that their work commutes rival those of most residents living and working in Manhattan, which is only a twenty to thirty minute commute by train or ferry, and even faster than that in a car.
