Very few residences offer access to so much, so close. The spirit of the Crown Heights neighborhood is an invigorating one. Yoga in the park, biking along the historic promenade of Eastern Parkway and sampling farm-direct delicacies at Brooklyn’s flagship Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket contribute to the perfect, meditative outdoor lifestyle.

Every street holds a new discovery. Indie shops full of vintage, vinyl and the works of local artisans. Open-air concerts at the Prospect Park Bandshell and movies under the stars. Centuries of art and artifacts at one of the world’s greatest cultural institutions, the Brooklyn Museum. Classes of every kind, from Chinese tea ceremonies to business incubator programs at the Brooklyn Library. Crown Heights is home base for the curious and the adventurous.

Sample an epicurean melting pot with refined and eclectic local dining adventures. Foodies get their fix in a hub of global specialties at well-respected restaurants, tiny culinary hideouts with their own unique menus and, according to locals, the best pizza in the city. Nearby Berg’n offers the quintessential Brooklyn beer and food hall experience.
