Prospect Heights Neighborhood Guide

When compared with other Brooklyn neighborhoods, Prospect Heights is relatively small, though it's well known for being culturally diverse and for its beautiful tree-lined streets. With many of the advantages of Park Slope, like excellent public transit, good schools, and close access to museums and green spaces, yet with considerably lower real estate prices, it's quickly becoming a favorite of middle-class New York families. The shops in this neighborhood are hyper-local with unique murals, dedicated customers, and a focus on the community.

Transport

Residents of Prospect Heights have access to a good number of train lines, including the 2, 3, 4, 5, B and R. The C and G are only a few blocks away and so are the N and R lines, and the Franklin Avenue Shuttle is located within walking distance as well.

Schools

As with most schools in New York, Prospect Heights has some poorly performing schools, but there are also numerous bright spots, including two public schools with dual language programs and Brooklyn Arts and Science Elementary with its incredible art and music classes for all students. In neighboring Crown Heights sits the selective PS/MS 394 that offers some of the most highly rated classes for kids from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Health

There is no hospital in Prospect Heights, but the New York Methodist Hospital, a non-profit hospital located in Park Slope, is relatively close by, has a total of 651 beds, and sees more than 40,000 patients each year. Residents have no shortage of private practices and alternative medical clinics.

Safety

Prospect Heights is patrolled by two precincts - the 77th and 78th Precincts of the New York Police Department. There were 15.35 and 13.91 crimes reported per 1,000 residents in 2016, respectively. This puts the neighborhood well below the Brooklyn and New York City averages for crime, and makes it one of the safer choices in the city.

Things to do

Prospect Heights has many eateries with long histories and traditions, including Ample Hills Creamery, an ice cream shop that makes everything from scratch; James, one of the best spots for hamburgers and other American eats; and Dean Street, an incredible - yet casual - spot to chow down on Southern specialties. Those with a taste for nightlife will not be disappointed in this neighborhood. Woodwork, a laidback bar that regulars flock to for their soccer fix, has long been popular in the area; Weather Up brings an old-fashioned vibe alongside innovative cocktails of their own; and Soda Bar has transformed itself from an ice cream parlor to a truly unique bar with some upscale bar foods too.
