Park Slope

Brownstones beside Prospect Park.

Park Slope’s residential streets rise toward Prospect Park, with brownstone and brick townhouses forming much of the neighborhood’s familiar streetscape. Apartment buildings and newer developments add variety, particularly along larger avenues.

Fifth and Seventh avenues serve as important commercial corridors. The relationship between park access, the slope of the streets, and individual building styles creates distinct settings within a neighborhood that rewards a closer look at each block.
