Prospect Heights Real Estate | Area Guide

Welcome to Prospect Heights

With some of the greenest streets in Brooklyn and a thriving food and nightlife culture, Prospect Heights has been attracting families and individuals for decades. The neighborhood is one of the most convenient in Brooklyn, and offers a quick commute into Manhattan.

Updated brownstones and a wealth of new developments provide a variety of options for those seeking luxurious living. Recent changes to zoning laws have introduced residential towers with modern amenities to the area, while rent-stabilized prewar buildings maintain a charming old-school feel. However, snagging a rent-stabilized unit in this highly sought-after neighborhood might be challenging due to high competition.

Prospect Heights is full of attractions to keep you busy. Start your day at one of the many mom & pop coffee shops along Vanderbilt Ave. Spend afternoons exploring cultural landmarks such as the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Public Library. Take a leisurely walk through Prospect Park. With a variety of incredible takeout and dining options throughout the neighborhood, choosing where to eat may be your biggest challenge.
