A quaint, urban valley between Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery
Over the past decade, more New Yorkers have been discovering Windsor Terrace’s charm. Between two massive green spaces — 478-acre Green-Wood Cemetery to the west and 526-acre Prospect Park to the east — and with houses that have porches and backyards on suburban-quiet streets, this neighborhood is an older, slower-paced version of Brooklyn. “It used to be a well-kept secret. Because it bordered Park Slope but it’s not Park Slope, and transportation was more difficult,” says Jim Cornell, a Windsor Terrace resident and real estate broker with 21 years of experience. “But now when we get off the train, we see people from television walking with us to their houses.” Increased attention has brought some development, like a 345-unit apartment building off Prospect Park, but residents and zoning regulations are maintaining Windsor Terrace’s personality. “It’s a neighborhood that’s grown up around itself. And because of the style of housing, it’s all very quaint,” Cornell says.

Brick bungalows and Victorian details
Charming houses and affordability are Windsor Terrace’s biggest draws. “Over the last 10 or 15 years, prices in Park Slope have risen faster than in Windsor Terrace, and you can still get a lovely three-story house here for a lot less than you can in other neighborhoods around the park,” Cornell says. In addition to the Italianate rowhouses common throughout New York City, Windsor Terrace also has brick bungalows with porch swings and a few clapboard houses with Victorian details. Prices across these styles range from $1 to $3.4 million. Condo buildings are much younger than the prewar houses, but they blend in with their red-brick exteriors and lower heights. Units range from $800,000 to $1.5 million, including in brand-new condominiums. Several brick co-op buildings offer lower price points, with units typically going for $450,000 to $850,000. However, large multibedroom units can fetch as much as $1.5 million.

Between two of Brooklyn’s biggest green spaces
On the west side, residents take calming walks around Green-Wood Cemetery’s famous and stately gravesites. On the east side, Prospect Park is the go-to for running, picnicking and even horseback riding through the Prospect Park Stables. The nearby Lena Horne Bandshell has summer concerts, and across the park, the zoo has a remarkable collection of Palla’s cats.

Dinner at the movies, drinks at a Prohibition-era bar
For eating and shopping in Windsor Terrace, residents have enough variety to keep the neighborhood feeling interesting. Farrell’s Bar and Grill opened in 1933, the same year that Prohibition ended, and has been a local favorite ever since. Dog Day Afternoon’s Chicago-style hot dogs make for a filling lunch, and Krupa Grocery is a welcome dinner spot with backyard seating. Vintage shops like True Love Always are fun to browse, as is Terrace Books. For groceries, residents can choose between two supermarkets or the Windsor Terrace Food Co-op. At night, the Adirondack bar resembles a cozy upstate cabin, and Nitehawk Cinema pairs movies with a full food and drink menu.

Old traditions and creative entertainment
Since 1975, the annual Brooklyn Saint Patrick’s Parade has kicked off at the north end of Windsor Terrace to march and step-dance up through Park Slope. On the other side of the neighborhood, Green-Wood Cemetery hosts a yearly event called Nightfall. It happens around Halloween, but is more about performance art and light shows than being spooky.
Public schools at the top of the class
Families in the area have several highly rated public school options. For kindergarten through fifth grade, kids can attend P.S. 130 or P.S. 154. Both have an A-minus grade from Niche, but only P.S. 154 also has a Halloween Boo Bash. For middle school, M.S. 442 also has an A-minus, and Brooklyn College Academy high school has an A grade.

A beautiful community but not diverse at all. It had potential to be an inclusive community but doubt it'd ever go that direction.

I really like this neighborhood. My parents bought our house before I was born and I have lived there all my life. Being so close to Prospect Park is amazing. I think it is truly the best park in New York City. We have the f and the g trains, which are very good and can get you pretty much anywhere you need to go.
