Property Description for 286 Saint Johns Place, 4-B
Although Brooklyn is changing by the minute, those who appreciate original pre-war Brooklyn charm will like this spacious, well laid out, 1BD/1BTH CONDO with a wood burning fireplace and wood floors throughout. The dishwasher and washer/dryer are a nod to the fact that as lovely as pre-war features are, it's the 21st century and there's nothing wrong with modern convenience, so it really is the best of both worlds!! The location can't be beat as it's on a prime, extra wide Prospect Heights block that's at the nexus of Prospect Park and the site of the weekly Farmer's Market at Grand Army Plaza, and the boundless cafes, restaurants and the endless residential amenities of Flatbush, Vanderbilt, Washington and Underhill Avenues. Just 2 blocks away from the 2,3 trains at Grand Army Plaza and a few blocks from the B,Q trains at 7th Avenue. Comes with it's own storage unit in basement. Cats allowed. Sorry, no dogs. Come see this embodiment of classic Brooklyn with modern flourish before it's gone!!

Prospect Heights | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Prospect Heights is a small residential neighborhood surrounded by big attractions. It’s rich in culture and offers the perfect blend of old Brooklyn charm and modern-day hipness.
Residents of this tight-knit community include young professionals, families and long-time residents. It’s a walkers paradise - just steps from Prospect Park and a short walking distance to neighborhoods like Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Green and Clinton. You’re close to culture too. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Library, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center are all nearby.
Prospect Heights is bordered by Flatbush Avenue to the west, Washington Avenue to the east, Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street to the north and Eastern Parkway to the south.
Prospect Heights, like many areas of New York City, was first inhabited by indigenous tribes and eventually settled by the Dutch and turned into farmland.
A significant part of the Revolutionary War was fought in Prospect Heights and the surrounding areas. Known as the Battle of Brooklyn, it was the first military engagement following the Declaration of Independence. Things didn’t go so well for American forces so they retreated and the British occupied Manhattan for several years after the Battle of Brooklyn.
In 1867, the opening of Prospect Park caused major housing growth in Prospect Heights. The middle-class neighborhood was soon populated by Jewish, Italian, and Irish workers. Many of which were shop-owners or employed as laborers in nearby factories.
Housing in Prospect Heights includes single-family row houses, historic townhouses, co-ops, and new luxury condos. The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Prospect Heights is $680,000 with an average price per square foot is $944.
The neighborhood's commercial artery runs along Vanderbilt Avenue and Washington Avenue. The variety of businesses adds to the charm of the neighborhood. They include bars, pubs, restaurants and mom-and-pop stores of all types. The shops and eateries are a perfect alternative to the big-name attractions that bracket the neighborhood. It's a little bit of everything in this neighborhood.
Subways are plentiful in Prospect Heights. Its proximity to Manhattan is another perk of the neighborhood. It's about a half-hour train ride. The B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines all serve the Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center station. 2, 3, 4, B and Q trains cover the neighborhood and the A and C trains are nearby too.
