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.

East Village

The East Village remains New York’s epicenter of counter-culture and artistic expression. Known for its vibrant street life, community gardens, and legendary music venues, the neighborhood offers an energy unlike any other. The real estate market is characterized by historic tenement-style cooperatives, charming low-rise walk-ups, and a growing selection of modern boutique condominiums that offer luxury amenities in the heart of Downtown.
