Welcome to Flatbush
FLATBUSH is located in Central Brooklyn with Prospect Park to the north as its leafy backdrop. Its architecture consists of historic 19th century multi-family brownstones, townhouses, pre-war co-op and rental buildings, luxury new development condo buildings, mixed use retail/rental walk-ups, and sprawling stand-alone colonial houses with wrap-around porches. Housing options are incredibly varied, from Prospect Lefferts Gardens to Ditmas Park. While the area has many quiet residential streets, Flatbush and Nostrand Avenues (its main corridors from north to south) are bursting with shops, restaurants and cafes (many with products and foods from the Caribbean). The neighborhood is home to multi-generational families with strong cultural institutions, alongside newer buyers and renters.
