Neighborhood Profiles

Midtown

Midtown Manhattan is the city's primary commercial and transit hub, home to Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, and the Empire State Building. The residential market features luxury condo towers, classic pre-war cooperatives, and postwar doorman buildings served by nearly every subway line in the system. Properties range from high-floor units with skyline panoramas to well-maintained co-ops along the tree-lined side streets east and west of Fifth Avenue.

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.
