Seaside living with urban convenience
Gerritsen Beach is a family-friendly enclave in south Brooklyn, offering a unique blend of seaside living and urban convenience. The neighborhood is known for its close-knit community and a mix of single-family houses, detached duplexes, and prewar co-ops. Situated between Sheepshead Bay to the west and the preserved wetlands of Marine Park to the east, it provides a tranquil living environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Gerritsen Avenue serves as the main commercial drag, featuring locally-owned shops, bodegas, pharmacies, pizzerias, and pubs. Notable spots include Path of Cha for gourmet teas, Tommy’s Italian Ices for cold treats, and The Gather Inn Again, a popular gastropub. For groceries, Key Food is conveniently located along the northern end of the neighborhood, with several local markets in between.
Marine Park, Brooklyn’s largest green space, is a major attraction with its lush salt marsh, hiking trails, baseball fields, skate parks, bocce courts, canoe launch sites, golf course, playgrounds, and more. The Kiddie Beach, a private beach for local residents, offers a perfect spot for family outings. The Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Trail provides stunning views and a peaceful retreat for nature lovers.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
