What makes Brooklyn Heights such a sought-after neighborhood
Brooklyn Heights offers an elegant suburban feel in the densely packed borough of Brooklyn. Luxury condos along the waterfront are juxtaposed with the prewar rowhouses of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, a designation that covers nearly the entire neighborhood. Desired for its classic brownstones, highly rated schools and proximity to Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights is also known for its trendy restaurants and nightlife. This upscale neighborhood has long been home to creative types, from midcentury authors like Truman Capote and Arthur Miller to present-day stars like Paul Giamatti and Adam Driver. Uphill and inland, Cadman Plaza Park insulates the area from the bustle of Downtown Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park are popular among joggers.
Clark's located on Clark Street is a Brooklyn Heights neighborhood staple.

Desirable location directly across from Manhattan
Brooklyn Heights is situated between the East River and Downtown Brooklyn. “It’s as close as you can be to Manhattan, but if you don’t want to live in the middle of everything, you can take a short cab or subway ride back and forth,” says Michael Bethoney, a broker with Nest Seekers International who specializes in new luxury developments across New York City. “It’s a really special neighborhood with the views of Downtown Manhattan, and the view of the Brooklyn Bridge is as special as you can get.” The location also makes for a straightforward commute to the offices of Downtown Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Heights residents have easy access to the East River and Manhattan.

Competitive housing market includes Brooklyn brownstones
Brooklyn Heights has some of the highest home values in the borough. Prewar revivalist rowhouses abut Italianate brownstones along quaint side streets. Historic low-rises contrast with high-rise luxury condos, like the 30-story Quay Tower, which offers sweeping river views. Prices vary widely across all home types, but co-ops typically have a lower entry point. Buyers can expect:
Co-ops starting in the low $300,000s with some reaching up to $7.5 million
Condos costing between $1.2 million and $7.4 million
Single-family homes ranging from $5.7 million to $11 million
About 60% of properties in the neighborhood are apartments.
Brownstones can be seen throughout the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood.

Why families love Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Heights’ trendy yet tranquil atmosphere attracts residents of all ages. “The housing stock is limited and competitive, but all sorts of people—young professionals, families, grandparents—want to move here,” says Jim Hayes, a Realtor at Serhant who specializes in the area. Parents are especially drawn to the neighborhood for its highly regarded private and public schools. Many opt to send their children to prestigious private institutions like St. Ann’s School or The Packer Collegiate Institute. Highly rated public schools in the neighborhood include P.S. 8 Emily Warren Roebling Elementary School, known for its arts-focused curriculum. Middle schoolers may attend Dock Street School for STEM Studies in DUMBO and high schoolers may attend K483 The Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice in Downtown Brooklyn.
St. Ann's School serves students from preschool all the way up to twelfth grade.
Brooklyn Friends School is an independent college preparatory school in Downtown Brooklyn.

Quick trips into Manhattan via ferry, subway or the Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) cuts through the neighborhood, taking drivers across the Brooklyn Bridge, directly into Manhattan. The Brooklyn Bridge is pedestrian- and bike-friendly, as is all of Brooklyn Heights. There are three subway stations in the neighborhood, including Borough Hall, where several lines converge. MTA buses stop frequently along the edges of the neighborhood. The NYC Ferry at Pier 6 takes commuters to the Financial District's Pier 11 in four minutes, leaving every half hour.
The Borough Hall subway station connects Brooklyn Heights to the 2, 3, 4 and 5 trains.
Brooklyn Heights residents can grab a Citi Bike from one of the prevalent docks.

Waterfront park and skyline views from the promenade
Brooklyn Bridge Park provides an idyllic backdrop along the once-industrial riverfront. After a decade of development, it’s become an internationally recognized park featuring sustainable design, robust programming and plenty of waterfront attractions. “Having access to the water makes the neighborhood feel bigger, better, greener and, in a way, closer to Manhattan,” Hayes says. Six converted piers offer hilly green lawns, sports facilities, playgrounds and views of Manhattan’s skyscrapers. “It’s probably one of the coolest parks in all of New York City,” Hayes says. Additionally, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, a pedestrian walkway perched above the BQE, is popular with locals and visitors for its elevated views of the Manhattan skyline. To the east, Cadman Plaza Park is a 10-block green space used for leisure, dog walking and events like the annual Brooklyn Book Festival.
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade is a scenic place for a stroll.

Cosmopolitan eateries and elevated bars
Brooklyn Heights has an impressive catalog of restaurants. “In every nook and cranny, down every side street, there’s incredible dining,” Hayes says. Lillo Cucina Italiana is a walk-in-only, cash-only outpost with freshly prepared Italian dishes. Long lines form outside L'Appartement 4F for their flaky, flavorful croissants. Along Atlantic Avenue, one of Brooklyn’s main thoroughfares, residents can find:
Local cafés, diners and bakeries
Swanky cocktail bars like Le Boudoir and Elsa
Grocers such as Key Food and Sahadi’s, a beloved Middle Eastern market
The famous River Deli in Brooklyn Heights serves elegant Sardinian dishes.

Brooklyn Heights’ vibe: quiet, polished and residential
“The area has so much to offer: the parks, the schools, the location, the beautiful, curb-appeal blocks,” Hayes says. Brooklyn Heights has an established sophistication, which contrasts with the creative, contemporary pulse of DUMBO immediately to the north. To the south, Cobble Hill offers a posh yet relaxed feel with independent boutiques and locally owned restaurants. Landlocked to the east, Downtown Brooklyn is a business district with high-rises.
