A waterside, northern Brooklyn neighborhood, Brooklyn Heights is a beautiful and historic area bordered by DUMBO, Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, and the East River. Considered New York’s first “suburb,” the area derives its name from its naturally elevated position. Hallmarks of this Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhood are quiet, tree-lined streets and grand, historic homes. A pedestrian walkway along the East River, The Brooklyn Promenade, draws locals and tourists alike for its breathtaking views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Downtown Manhattan, and the water. A relatively new addition to the neighborhood, the riverside Brooklyn Bridge Park is a world-class green space offering recreation and respite year round.
