Property Description for 55 Eastern Parkway, 5-H
Generously-sized one-bedroom prewar apartment in prime Prospect Heights near Brooklyn’s best attractions! This beautiful home at 55 Eastern Parkway enjoys a superior location right across from Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza and more, making it super-desirable. Interiors are just as attractive with large rooms, rich original parquet hardwood floors, high-end finishes and five deep closets for storage.
A gracious entry foyer introduces the elegance, spilling into a sun-filled step-down living room with open sitting and dining areas. The renovated windowed kitchen is impeccably-designed with black and white tile floors, custom wood cabinetry, sleek stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances for the cook. To create an even more open flow, it would be easy to remove the existing wall to the living area as it is not structural.
The spacious bedroom receives lovely light from corner exposure windows plus has excellent closet space, and offers plenty of room for an office area for working remotely. The full windowed bathroom styled with modern fixtures and tilework has been thoughtfully renovated as well.
55 Eastern Parkway is a handsome prewar elevator cooperative with a part-time doorman (7 days a week), onsite super, laundry facility, huge courtyard and picnic area, free bike room, wait-listed storage for a fee, and a pet-friendly policy. Best of all is the premier address moments from the Brooklyn Library, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, Prospect Park Zoo, Mount Prospect Park with a playground and strolling path, and the Grand Army Plaza Saturday green market. Great restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and subways (2, 3, 4, 5, B, Q & S) are also easily accessible. Don’t miss this gem!

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.
