What to expect

Upscale amenities in the heart of Brooklyn, minus the late night noise.

In general, life in Park Slope feels more suburban and well-established than other parts of Brooklyn. Tree-lined sidewalks, manicured stoop-front gardens, and a community-wide love for gathering spots and greenery are among the natural perks of living here.

Proximity to cultural hubs such as The Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Conservatory, Brooklyn Academy of Music and more make for locals that include teachers, academics, and lifelong learners. It’s no wonder that Park Slope grade schools -- from public and charter to private and beyond -- are considered among the best in New York.

Meanwhile, community health and culture enthusiasts will find plenty of public parks, flower gardens, and outdoor spaces to enjoy. Greenspace NYC and Park Slope CSA’s volunteer gardens are only two spots that leaf-seeking locals can call their own.
