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.

Red Hook

Red Hook is a waterfront neighborhood defined by cobblestone lanes, repurposed brick warehouses, and low-rise residential buildings on a peninsula jutting into Upper New York Bay. No subway runs directly through the neighborhood; NYC Ferry's South Brooklyn route and the B61 bus provide primary transit connections to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. Valentino Pier Park and the 58-acre Red Hook Recreation Area offer harbor-front green space, while the working cruise terminal at Pier 12 maintains the area's maritime heritage.
