Welcome to 272 Prospect Place — a charming one-bedroom garden apartment on a quiet, tree-lined street in Prospect Heights. Just half a block from Vanderbilt Avenue, you’re close to neighborhood favorites like Mille-Feuille Bakery, Milk Bar, and Prospect Butcher Co., as well as award-winning restaurants and cozy cafés. It’s the kind of street that feels serene at home but puts you right in the heart of the neighborhood the moment you’re outside.
Inside, the apartment blends classic details with thoughtful updates. Hardwood floors run throughout, the renovated bathroom features a deep soaking tub with subway tile, and the kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances — including a five-burner gas stove, full-size dishwasher, and refrigerator. An in-unit washer/dryer adds everyday convenience, and the landlord provides window-unit A/Cs. Storage is a standout: the bedroom offers generous closet space, and additional hallway closets make it easy to stay organized.
You’ll be near Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and multiple subway lines for convenient access to the rest of the city. With Michelin-recognized spots like Alta Calidad and The Nuaa Table close by, plus local bakeries and coffee shops, this location perfectly balances neighborhood charm with true city living. A rare find on one of Prospect Heights’ most beautiful blocks.

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.
