Park Slope is a strong embodiment of all things Brooklyn. An open-minded and artistically inclined population enthusiastically lends its support to an assortment of businesses and vendors. Known as the “Other Fifth Avenue,” Fifth Avenue in Park Slope is a hotbed for laid-back, family-oriented businesses and homegrown food and beverage concepts, housed in the various Park Slope commercial retail space. It is home to all things retail in Park Slope. Seventh Avenue acts as another hotspot for residents and includes top-rated schools, restaurants, bars, and health clinics.
Historic brownstones and Prospect Park define this tree-lined neighborhood, and recent developments have carried its charm into the 21st century. Strollers and children of all ages are a constant presence on the sidewalks, as are dog walkers heading to the park. The neighborhood is far enough away from Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan to offer a breather from the daily hustle, big enough for a diverse range of housing types, and secluded enough to offer the quiet serenity of a New York-style suburb.
