Around the Block
Park Slope is a name-brand Brooklyn neighborhood known for its organic food markets and picturesque, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks. Prospect Park, charming cafes, and plenty of public amenities contribute to the neighborhood's small-town vibe.
Originally colonized as Dutch farmland in the 17th century, Park Slope went on to become a territory steeped in regional and national history. Thanks to the enduring architectural and greenspace appeal, Park Slope has remained on the rise since the mid-1900s, and today enjoys a reputation for natural beauty and a modern lifestyle.
