Quiet luxury near Prospect Park
When most people think of historic brownstone Brooklyn, a few areas come to mind. But when compared to Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill, Park Slope covers more space and has more variety of homes. The large, family-friendly neighborhood sits in the center of the borough and right next to Prospect Park. Quiet tree-lined streets play host to well-preserved Victorian-style townhomes. Park Slope was one of the first Brooklyn neighborhoods to undergo late 20th-century revitalization. Today, top-ranked schools, eclectic eateries, independent boutiques and cooperative food markets add to its progressive yet vintage charm. “We have a wholesome Sesame Street-like lifestyle here,” says Jessica Levy Buchman, a local resident and broker with Corcoran. “Things move a bit slower. People sit on their stoops and interact with their neighbors.”

Modern condos join historical brownstones
Park Slope is defined by tranquil streets lined with old-growth trees and wide slate sidewalks. Late 19th-century brownstones are the norm on side streets and come in a wide variety of architectural styles: Italianate, French Second Empire, Greek Revival, Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival. These ornate townhomes range from $2.5 million to $8.5 million, depending on size and condition. A few stately mansions, especially those situated along Prospect Park West, can often surpass the $10 million mark. Prewar co-ops are common in the area and go for between $580,000 and $950,000, depending on size. A recent crop of modern high-rise condo towers line 4th Avenue, with two-bedroom units priced at $900,000 to $2.5 million. “These buildings are great for homeowners that want the brownstone Brooklyn experience but with easy, uncomplicated high-rise living,” says Buchman.
