"The last affordable neighborhood in Brooklyn"
This is a great neighborhood that is often left out of the discussion about Brooklyn real estate. We bought a home here last year and we are loving the access to public transportation, friendly neighbors, great local library and wonderful YMCA. We often take walks in Highland Park to watch the swans take off and land. There are tons of interesting restaurants and we just hop on over to Bushwick if we are craving something a bit "trendier" to do.
Pros
- Amazing park
- Friendly local library
- Highly diverse population
- Lots of ethnic food & shopping options
- Very affordable housing
Cons
- loud car stereos
- loud dirt bikes
- No upscale or trendy stores
Recommended for
- Professionals
- Singles
- Families with kids
- Retirees
- Hipsters
- Students
- Beach Lovers

Thank you so much for the positive commenting about Cypress Hills. My cousins and I are renting a part of a rowhouse there in August and I just heard so not-so-nice things from a friend of mine about it. You have just set my mind at ease.
