Property Description for 41 Eastern Parkway, 11-E

Across the street from Prospect Park, this high floor 2 bedroom/2 bath prewar coop is located in Prospect Heights's iconic 41 Eastern Parkway, "The Copley Plaza." While 11E needs some TLC, this apartment's excellent light, expansive views, and superb location already set it ahead of the pack. Admire the splendidly restored lobby, then take an elevator to the penultimate floor, where the apartment's front door opens onto a generous foyer (with coat closet) that flows into a living room with treetop views over Eastern Parkway and Prospect Park. The adjoining, windowed dining may possibly be (re)converted to a formal dining room - or keep it open and lofty. Tucked off the dining area is a windowed kitchen. A large master bedroom with two exposures has views of sky, the Manhattan skyline, and Eastern Parkway, with more skyline views from the second bedroom. The Copley Plaza offers all the convenience of an attended lobby, laundry, a live in superintendent, storage area (with waiting list), and a bicycle storage room, . Best of all is the "WOW" location: across the street from Prospect Park's 585 green and gorgeous acres and just one block to Grand Army Plaza, transportation, a weekly greenmarket, and the majestic Central Library in one direction, and in the other, the Brooklyn Museum of Art and Brooklyn Botanic Garden,. The neighborhood's great places to shop and dine include Penny House Cafe. Stocked, Saul's Restaurant at Brooklyn Museum of Art, and Cheryl's Global Soul.. Not to be missed. CONTRACT SIGNED.

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.
