Brooklyn Heights

By Kristina Misailova, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker, Compass

Historic, elegant, and minutes from Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights is one of Brooklyn's most refined and enduring neighborhoods.

The character

Landmarked brownstone blocks, the Promenade with its skyline views, and a calm, established feel make the Heights a favorite for families and professionals alike.

Housing stock

Historic brownstones and prewar co-ops define the area, with a smaller selection of condos. Detail and craftsmanship run high, and inventory is limited.

Getting around

The 2, 3, 4, and 5, the R, and the A and C offer several quick paths into Manhattan, often faster than crosstown Manhattan trips.

Who it suits, and the tradeoffs

Great for families and buyers who want classic character with a short commute. The tradeoffs are premium pricing and very little new construction.
