Property Description for 61 Eastern Parkway, 2-A
With 4 bedrooms this sun-filled, spacious and gracious home has all the room you will ever need. You enter into a wide expanse of the bright living room flowing into the large, formal dining room. The openness lends itself to easy entertaining. The 3 largest bedrooms have great separation from the living space. The master has city windows for complete silence. The kitchen and 4th bedroom are off of the dining room. This bedroom could also be used as a home office/study. If the 4th bedroom is not necessary to your needs, you can create a very comfortable eat-in-kitchen. This pet friendly coop with 24/7 doormen could not be more centrally located in Prime Prospect Heights. Within minutes you can walk to The Brooklyn Museum, The Botanic Garden, Mount Prospect Park and Prospect Park. Every Saturday you can shop for culinary delights at the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket. If you don't want to cook you can stroll to Vanderbilt or Washington Avenues for a great meal or drinks at one of the many delicious establishments too numerous to name. Access to Manhattan is easy. The 2/3 is steps away at the Brooklyn Museum (or at Grand Army Plaza). The 4/5 and the Franklin Ave Shuttle are not much further away on EPW. The Shuttle connects you to the A/C. The B/Q is down the hill at 7th Ave/Flatbush Ave. A storage unit comes with the apartment. Come home to Brooklyn at 61 Eastern Parkway - Brooklyn's Champs Elysees.

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.
