Sunset Park Neighborhood Guide
Once considered to be a part of Gowanus, today Sunset Park is its own neighborhood in Brooklyn. Named after the park situated towards its north-eastern border, this neighborhood was founded in the 1890s and has incredible views of the skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the New York Harbor. A quieter, more affordable neighborhood compared to others with similar transportation and nightlife options, Sunset Park is slowly becoming known as one of the coolest neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
Architecture and landmarks
You can expect the avenues to be studded with stores, while tree-lined side streets are often home to large two- and three-story rowhouses built in the early 20th century. East of Sunset Park, it's possible to find a few co-ops - including Alku, built in 1916 and believed to be the very first nonprofit co-op in the United States. Though there are a few older, taller condo buildings, rezoning plans adopted in 2009 requires buildings in residential areas not to exceed 80 feet, and in some areas they can't exceed 35 feet. Part of Sunset Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, thanks to its Renaissance Revival and Romanesque architecture. In fact, this area is the largest historic district in the entire Northeast United States and has several buildings individually designated as landmarks by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, including the Sunset Park Courthouse, St. Michael's Church, and the former 18th Police Precinct Station House and Stable.
Transport
Sunset Park offers residents both rail and road services. People who commute via car can get on three limited access highways, including the Belt Parkway, the I-278, and NY 27. There are also six NYC bus lines that serve the neighborhood, as well as three subway lines: D, N, and R.
Schools
Parents can send their children to their choice of a few public elementary schools in Sunset Park, including PS 169, which has just over 1,600 students and scores higher than average on standardized tests. Many students head to Sunset Park Prep for middle school, which also scored higher than average on citywide tests. There is no high school zoned for Sunset Park.
Health
NYU Lutheran Medical Center is located in Sunset Park, though some areas of the neighborhood are actually closer to Park Slope's New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. There are several private physicians and alternative medical providers in the neighborhood.
Safety
Sunset Park is patrolled by the 72nd Precinct of the New York City Police Department where there were 9.71 reported crimes per 1,000 residents in 2016. This makes the neighborhood about average when compared to crime statistics for other neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and lower than average compared to NYC as a whole.
Things to do
Fans of Chelsea Market make their way to Food Hall at Industry City, where they can sample foods from a variety of vendors selling everything from jerk chicken to ice cream to pork sandwiches. The Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg is a popular shopping and eating spot in the winter months, and those who need to do their bulk shopping can head to Costco on Third Avenue. Other popular shopping options include WantedDesign for jewelry and home decor from all over the world, Xin Fa Bakery for Portuguese treats, and Mrs. C's Cycles for bike enthusiasts.
The other side of Sunset Park includes the Fei Long Market, which is a mix between a supermarket and food court, with tanks full of blackfish, crabs, and eels. Parkette Brooklyn is one of the more popular coffee shops, fans of Mexican food are likely to head to Jalapenos, Ecuadorian food can be enjoyed at El Tesoro Ecuadorian, and Mister Hotpot is the locals' choice for Chinese hotpot. Popular late night stops include Irish Haven Bar, The Brooklyn Hangar, and Industry City Distillery.
There is a branch of the Brooklyn Public Library in Sunset Park, but the biggest draw is likely the park itself, where elevated hills offer the best views in the neighborhood.
