Cultural influence abounds in Flatbush-Ditmas Park
Between a host of local shops and restaurants, highly-rated schools and a community full of culture and heritage, Flatbush-Ditmas Park offers incredible cultural heritage. “It’s a unique neighborhood,” says Steve Sallion, an associate broker with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty. “There’s a ton of housing styles mixed in with an eclectic diversity of cultures and people.” Within what’s known as “Little Caribbean” and the surrounding area, residents can enjoy a buzzing atmosphere of outdoor markets, a celebration of tradition and the sounds of impromptu, live music as they walk through the Flatbush-Ditmas Park neighborhood.
Markets, meals and music
It's hard not to find restaurants and shops in the area, especially in Little Caribbean. “Little Caribbean is almost a sub-neighborhood within Flatbush,” Sallion says. “It’s related to a lot of the local shops and boutiques, and there’s certainly a diaspora and mix of these cultures that come together in the area.” Among the vibrant atmosphere are local markets, some of them open-air, and be sure to keep an ear out for any impromptu music sets that break out on the street. Other outlets include Café Madeline, a staple along Cortelyou Road, and the Milk and Honey Café on Newkirk Avenue. Coffee Mob sources its coffee beans from around the world, while Westwood Bar prides itself on its cocktails. Groceries can be found at the Flatbush Food Co-op, and shopping can also be done at Target’s Brooklyn Flatbush and Church location.

Local events small and large
Over on Flatbush Avenue, check out the Kings Theatre just off the northeastern tip of Flatbush-Ditmas Park, which originally operated as a movie theater from 1929 to 1977. After extensive restoration, it was reopened as an outlet for all kinds of performing arts, from musical acts to plays, with some of its headliners having included Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and Ronnie Spector. “I almost look at it as becoming the Radio City Music Hall of Brooklyn,” Sallion says. “New people are discovering the neighborhood, driven by the shows, and restaurants and cafes are opening up around it. People are discovering Flatbush in a new way and light, and it’s been a major driver.” At the Cortelyou branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, find a selection for browsing alongside plenty of events, a weekly “Saturday Storytime” session and more.
A wide variety of home styles
Within the Flatbush-Ditmas Park neighborhood, Victorian constructions are the most popular standalone home styles, with many condos and apartments perched above street-level retail. “You’ve got Victorian houses, brownstones, limestones and pre-war apartments mixed in,” Sallion says. Prices rarely drop below $1 million for standalones, though condos can be found for under the million-dollar mark. Find some detached garages along sidewalk-lined streets, with some ornately columned larger homes in the mix as well.

The LeFrak Center at Lakeside sits within the park and hosts skating and hockey during the winter, while the Prospect Park Zoo is a favorite for residents and visitors alike. BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn hosts concerts at the park during the summer as well.
