Neighborhood Profiles

Midwood

Midwood is a tree-lined Brooklyn neighborhood anchored by the landmarked Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park Historic District, which preserves over 250 early 20th-century homes in Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, and Craftsman styles. The housing stock ranges from freestanding Victorian homes and limestone rowhouses to six-story prewar apartment buildings along Kings Highway. The B, Q, and F trains serve the neighborhood, and Brooklyn College's Georgian-style campus provides a notable architectural landmark at its southern edge.

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.
