Flatbush

Many kinds of Brooklyn, side by side.

Flatbush brings together apartment corridors, attached houses, and pockets of detached residential architecture. Flatbush Avenue is a major commercial route, while quieter side streets reveal a range of building styles and periods.

The broader area includes several distinct residential enclaves, each with its own streetscape. Exploring Flatbush means paying attention to those differences, from the scale of an apartment building to the garden and setback of an individual home.
