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.
View Full Market ReportThe Financial District occupies the southern tip of Manhattan, where landmark office towers have been converted into spacious residential lofts alongside new luxury high-rise condominiums with river and harbor views. The Oculus and Fulton Center transit hubs connect over a dozen subway lines, including the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, and Z trains, making it one of the best-connected neighborhoods in the city. Battery Park, Bowling Green, and the 9/11 Memorial provide open green space and waterfront access at the foot of the skyline.
