Because it’s protected by three historic districts, this affluent and peaceful neighborhood really hasn’t changed much over the last 200 years. “America’s First Suburb” boasts a remarkable range of architecture from really old wood-frame houses to the some of the most beautiful pre-Civil War brownstone townhouses in the city. Sports-minded residents head to the Brooklyn Bridge Park for everything from basketball, playgrounds and kayaking to a dog park and much more. Subway geeks love the NY Transit Museum. One-stop transit to FIDI; 20 minutes to Midtown.
