Local guide
About Prospect Heights
Even though Prospect Heights is steeped in old-Brooklyn culture, it's also on the cutting edge of all things trendy and appealing about the borough as a whole. Lots of great restaurants, majestic Prospect Park, brownstone homes galore, and quick train access to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn keep the scene in this neighbourhood ever-changing – and ever-energised. One of Prospect Heights’ biggest draws lies in its sense of community though - diverse communities have started and run businesses, congregated along the same blocks, and frequented the same shops for generations.
