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.

Murray Hill

Murray Hill offers a central Manhattan location with a surprisingly neighborhood-like feel. Known for its historic 'Sniffen Court' and a mix of mid-century high-rises and 19th-century townhouses, it is a popular choice for professionals seeking proximity to Grand Central and Midtown. The neighborhood is particularly well-regarded for offering a wide range of price points, from entry-level studio cooperatives to expansive luxury penthouses.
