A predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhood

Borough Park is a Brooklyn neighborhood known for its strong sense of community and deep cultural roots. Home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish populations in the United States, it offers a unique blend of tradition and urban living. The neighborhood prides itself on its safety and close-knit family-friendly atmosphere, fostered by its strong community ties, walkable streets and abundance of kosher eateries along 13th Avenue. The area is characterized by its multifamily homes, most of which are apartment rentals and condos. With excellent public transportation and proximity to Manhattan, Borough Park is ideal for commuters who want a quieter residential setting.

Plentiful multifamily duplexes in the Borough Park market

Borough Park’s housing inventory is primarily multifamily homes, many of which are rental properties. Low-rise apartments, co-ops and condos also make up a large portion of the market. Some single-family row houses are scattered throughout the neighborhood, though they are much less common. “Housing is very spacious because it was designed for large families,” says Rebecca Goldberg, a licensed real estate broker at Douglas Elliman with more than 35 years of experience selling in Brooklyn. “Condos start at 1,600 square feet, while multifamily duplexes start with five-plus bedrooms.” Co-ops may start as low as $430,000, a 1930s two-bedroom condo starts at $800,000 and a three-bedroom unit in a new-construction building starts at $1.2 million. Multifamily townhouses fall between a range of $1.5 million for a five-bedroom duplex to $2.5 million for an eight-bedroom duplex.
