The Borough’s Best: 20 Brooklyn Neighborhood Superlatives
Ditmas Park
We love the iconic Brooklyn brownstone as much as the next person, but we fulfill our real estate fantasies by wandering the tree-lined streets of Ditmas Park so that we can drool (uh, not literally… well, sometimes literally) over the century-old houses, many featuring gracious, wraparound porches; original stained glass windows; and turrets reaching up into the sky. And if the gorgeous houses weren’t enough to make us want to move to Ditmas Park, the mini- Restaurant Row that is Courtelyou Road features some of our favorite restaurants, plus a food coop that might not be as well-stocked as the Park Slope version, but comes with none of the drama.
