Crown Heights Neighborhood Guide
The woods grew so thick and impenetrable in this section of Long Island that the British Army was forced to hire a guide to make it across the hillsides during the Revolutionary War. After New York abolished slavery in 1827 one of the state's first free black communities, called Weeksville, sprouted here. Nearby, the county lock-up known as Crow Hill Penitentiary was built in 1846. Both Weeksville and Crow Hill disappeared in the 1870s with the construction of the 2-mile Eastern Parkway, lined with many trees, returning a sense of the neighborhood's former greenery. One of the city's most fashionable neighborhoods grew up along the road with many second residences built by Manhattanites. Crown Heights became an orthodox Jewish stronghold in the first half of the 20th century; in the second half many Caribbean-Americans and African-Americans moved in. The two cultures remain dominant in the neighborhood today.
Architecture and landmarks
You know there was money in Crown Heights because the subway went underground here and not marching overhead through the streets. Blocks of those picturesque rowhouses remain although there is a healthy dose of new construction in the neighborhood as well. Four areas encompassing a large swath of Crown Heights have been designated historic districts, highlighted by a number of Kinko Duplex Houses which were introduced in 1907. Kinko houses gave each unit its own private entrance and house number. The Coe House on 34th Street and the Elkins House on Dean Street have been singled out for landmark status. Crown Heights has boasted as many as 34 synagogues in the past; several are of particular interest including Kol Israel Synagogue, a small tenement house of worship at St. John's Place constructed of simple fieldstone in 1928, and the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, 770 Eastern Parkw.
Transport
The residents of centrally located Crown Heights are never wanting for subway service. The 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains can be boarded on Franklin Avenue and the trip to Manhattan can take as little as 30 minutes. The Long Island Rail Road also has a station at Nostrand and Atlantic avenues. More than 10 bus lines fan out across the neighborhood.
Schools
Crown Heights is part of Central Brooklyn's District 17 with nearly a dozen public elementary schools feeding the secondary system. MS 61 is a large intermediate school that has won kudos for its gifted and talented programs. Public high school choices include several charter schools and Medgar Evers College in the neighborhood offers some college-level classes in the high schools.
Health
The Interfaith Medical Center on Atlantic Avenue at the neighborhood's northern border is a full-service non-profit community hospital with 287 beds. A few blocks to the south, NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County offers one of the city's top trauma centers.
Safety
The 77th Precinct on watch in Crown Heights reports 17.3896 crimes per 1,000 residents, placing the neighborhood in the top 40% for safety in New York City.
Things to do
