Urban Core Neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York

Large historic homes and newer condos
Blocks of prewar mid-rises share space with large Queen Anne Victorian homes and brick Greek revival attached rowhouses featuring period details such as dripstone cornices. Homes are priced similarly to adjacent areas, where a two-story brick house or a large Tudor revival rowhouse might cost $1.8 million. Newer condos are rising, offering one-bedroom units for $500,000. “Like everywhere in New York City, this part of Brooklyn is always changing, which is exciting if you’re open to it,” says Jerry Minsky, a Brooklyn native and real estate agent with Douglas Elliman who has been selling in Brooklyn for over 30 years. “Neighborhoods like Mapleton have become more popular,” he says.

GreatSchools:
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.
