Brighton Beach

Brighton Beach stretches along Brooklyn's Atlantic shoreline with a housing stock that ranges from 1920s Art Deco apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway to postwar co-op towers and newer oceanfront condominiums. The B and Q trains run above Brighton Beach Avenue, providing direct service to Downtown Brooklyn, Midtown Manhattan, and connections across the system. The Riegelmann Boardwalk extends along the waterfront, connecting to Coney Island, while Brighton Beach Avenue below the elevated tracks forms the neighborhood's primary commercial corridor.
