Historic and refined in ZIP 11201 - landmarked brownstones, the Promenade with its Manhattan skyline views, quiet tree lined streets, and a walk to Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Here is what it is actually like to live here.
Brooklyn Heights was the first designated historic district in New York City, and it still feels like it. The streets are lined with immaculate brownstones and Greek Revival townhouses, shaded by mature trees, and remarkably quiet for a neighborhood this close to Manhattan. The housing runs from elegant co-ops to full multi story townhouses, all held to a high standard.
The crown jewel is the Promenade, a walkway hovering over the harbor with one of the best Manhattan skyline views in the city. Just below is Brooklyn Bridge Park, and just beside are Downtown Brooklyn and DUMBO. It is refined, walkable, and about as connected as Brooklyn gets.

Brooklyn Heights is a premium, tightly held market. Prices run a wide range - from around $800,000 for co-ops to $5,000,000 and well beyond for full brownstone townhouses - with the number set by block, size, layout, outdoor space, views, and condition. Because inventory in a historic district is limited and demand runs high, well priced, well presented homes tend to draw serious interest.
Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific Brooklyn Heights home is worth today is a real read on the exact property and the most recent sales on its block.
