Neighborhood Profiles

Ridgewood

Ridgewood features orderly blocks of brick and limestone rowhouses, prewar tenements with decorative cornices, and multi-family buildings constructed between 1905 and 1925, making it one of Queens' most architecturally consistent neighborhoods. The M train runs through the heart of the area with stops at Seneca Avenue, Forest Avenue, and Fresh Pond Road, while the L train connects at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues. Highland Park and Ridgewood Reservoir border the neighborhood to the south, and the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, an 18th-century landmark, marks the historic Queens-Brooklyn boundary.

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.
