Welcome to Flatbush

CROWN HEIGHTS is located in north central Brooklyn and gets its name from being the highest point of elevation in the area. It is home to landmarks such as the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and annual events like the West Indian Day Parade. Its architecture consists of historic 19th century multi-family brownstones and townhouses, mid-century built co-op and rental buildings, luxury new development condo buildings and mixed-use retail/rental walk-ups. While there are many picturesque residential blocks, the Franklin Ave. corridor provides a burst of energy with a mix of trendy restaurants, cafes and bars. The neighborhood is home to tightly knit multi-generational families with strong cultural traditions, alongside newer renters and homeowners.
