To Park Slope (9th Street to Flatbush Avenue)

Welcome to Park Slope

Bounded by Flatbush Ave to the north and the Prospect Expressway to the south, this old time Irish & Italian neighborhood of family-run stores is now sprinkled with chic cafes, boutiques and antique shops. Restaurants abound as well as numerous watering holes frequented by the singles set. Victorian brownstones give Park Slope its character, and great schools (both public and private) are especially attractive to young families.

Most will agree that Prospect Park, Park Slope's eastern boundary, is the neighborhood's greatest asset. Once a Revolutionary War battleground, Prospect Park is a haven for cyclists, hikers, and birdwatchers alike. Dogwalkers will appreciate the park's dog level drinking fountains, as well as the most liberal off-leash hours in the entire city.

About Gowanus...
They used to say "if it don't slope, it's not the Slope." Any street, a block or two North, East or West of the Gowanus Canal, generally qualifies as Gowanus - the character basically industrial, sprinkled with quaint residences. With the commercialization of 4th Avenue has come the pressure of developers - long time residents quick to defend the integrity of their neighborhood. Along with renewed interest in Gowanus as a distinct neighborhood, there are big plans for the Canal's future including riverwalks and restaurants.

About Our Maps & Streets
Our maps and scrollable streets are not drawn to scale. Our maps are meant to convey a sense of what you'll find when you walk the neighborhoods. Since our web space is limited, we have adopted the following conventions.

"Apartments" indicates a multifamily building or buildings, generally without a stoop. "Residences" are buildings with stoops and may be multifamily. "Residence" (singular) is a single building. "Residences" (plural) may indicate two our three attached buildings.

Storefront note:

Wherever storefronts (yellow) are indicated, they are most likely to be three or four story brick buildings with apartments above. A vacant storefront in no way indicates that the entire building is vacant.

About Our Updates...
We walk our commercial streets every three or four months in order update our shop information. While the date reflects our last official update, we make a point to include new information as we hear of it. Feel free to let us know of any changes in your neighborhood.
