THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Ditmas Park is situated in the historic "Victorian Flatbush." The neighborhood feels like a picturesque New England town, and is one of Brooklyn's greenest neighborhoods. Perfect for walking a dog or pushing a stroller. There are good schools and daycare options in the neighborhood.
🌮 Cuisine
There is a thriving food scene, with cozy spots like Café Madeline, Mimi's Hummus, Werkstatt (Austrian), and La Loba Cantina (Mexican). The neighborhood is also home to unique gems like Sycamore Bar & Flower Shop (walk through a flower shop to reach a bar with 75+ whiskeys) and historic Kings Theatre which hosts regular concerts and performances.
Just north lies 500-acre Prospect Park with baseball fields, walking trails, a lake, and a zoo.
The community spirit shines through year-round activities like the weekly farmers market on Cortelyou Road and summertime's free outdoor concerts via Operation Gig on residents' front porches, creating a true neighborhood atmosphere. The area is **just 30 minutes to Union Square via B/Q trains at Newkirk Plaza**, offering the best of both worlds while retaining its quiet, residential character.
Verizon Fios Internet.
