An upscale residential neighborhood abutting the western flank of Prospect Park, Park Slope is known for its lush brownstone-lined streets and quiet atmosphere. It is home to families and young professionals, and that is reflected in a wealth of neighborhood amenities like schools, casual cafes and bars, and a vibrant dining scene.
The Life
Locals enjoy community-driven green markets, casual neighborhood strolls to local bakeries and cafes, and an ideal balance of bustling nightlife and quiet residential zones. 5th and 7th Avenues and 9th and Union Streets are the main pedestrian hubs where most of the area’s restaurants and shops can be found. The eastern border of Park Slope leads residents into the lush and tranquil walking paths of Prospect Park, while the northern tip of the neighborhood is a major shopping and entertainment district home to Atlantic Terminal Mall, Atlantic Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Barclays Center.
