Boerum Hill

Townhouse character, close to the city’s center.

Boerum Hill’s residential streets feature brick and brownstone townhouses, many with raised stoops and detailed facades. Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street add shops and restaurants around quieter blocks, while Downtown Brooklyn sits nearby.

The housing landscape includes historic rowhouses, apartments in smaller buildings, and more recent condominium construction. The neighborhood feels most distinctive where its established residential architecture meets the activity of its commercial corridors.
