Neighborhood Profiles

Gowanus

Gowanus features a striking mix of 19th-century brick warehouses, Greek Revival rowhouses, and new glass-and-steel condominiums rising along the canal waterfront. The F, G, R, D, and N/W trains are accessible at nearby Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street stations, with Atlantic Terminal a short walk north. Washington Park and the Old Stone House landmark anchor the neighborhood's green space, while a major rezoning is bringing thousands of new residential units and waterfront parkland to the area.

Bergen Beach

Bergen Beach occupies a low peninsula in southeastern Brooklyn, nearly surrounded by water, featuring postwar brick and stucco single-family homes with driveways, front lawns, and a distinctly suburban layout built on reclaimed tidal flats during the 1950s and 1960s. The nearest subway is the L train at Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway, about 1.5 miles north. Waterfront parks and restored marshlands along the Paerdegat Basin and Jamaica Bay shoreline provide green space and kayaking access.
