Neighborhood Profiles

Lower East Side

The Lower East Side (LES) is a neighborhood where New York’s storied history meets its high-end future. Known for its legendary nightlife and deep historic roots, the area has seen a dramatic transformation with the arrival of luxury towers like Essex Crossing. The housing stock is a unique mix of historic walk-up cooperatives, value-driven HDFC units, and ultra-modern condominiums that offer some of the best views in Downtown Manhattan.

Flatbush

Flatbush features one of Brooklyn's most varied housing stocks, including grand detached Victorians along Ocean Avenue, limestone and brownstone rowhouses, prewar apartment buildings, and brick townhomes within landmarked enclaves like Prospect Park South and Ditmas Park. The Q, 2, and 5 trains connect the neighborhood to Manhattan, while Prospect Park's 526 acres of green space border the northern edge. The restored Kings Theatre, a 1920s-era landmark performance venue, and Erasmus Hall High School, founded in 1786, are among the area's most notable architectural features.
