Neighborhood Profiles

Kensington

Kensington is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood bordered by Prospect Park to the north and the landmarked Green-Wood Cemetery to the west, with Ocean Parkway running through its center as one of the borough's signature tree-lined boulevards. The housing stock includes brick rowhouses, prewar co-op apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue, and detached Victorian homes on the side streets, served by the F and G trains at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Church Avenue. The B and Q express trains are accessible within a short walk, providing a 30-to-35-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan.

Ditmas Park

Ditmas Park is a landmarked Brooklyn enclave recognized for its freestanding Victorian, Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Craftsman homes set back from the street with porches and landscaped yards. The B and Q trains serve the neighborhood at Cortelyou Road, Beverley Road, Newkirk Plaza, and Avenue H stations, and Prospect Park's 526 acres of green space sit just to the northwest. The historic district encompasses roughly 2,000 residential buildings dating from 1902 to 1914, making it one of the city's best-preserved collections of early 20th-century residential architecture.
