Brooklyn Heights

Grand townhouses built by New York's 19th-century elites line shaded streets in Brooklyn Heights, which commands a bluff that overlooks the East River and Manhattan's Financial District. An upscale commercial area bustles with well-heeled shoppers, but the focus here is on the broad promenade that affords sweeping views of Manhattan and New York Harbor.

Homes in the center of the neighborhood--which include those brownstones as well as a handful of luxury elevator buildings--are some of the grandest in the city, but more modest real estate is readily available south of Joralemon Street. A thick tangle of subway lines nearby enables practically instant transportation to both the Financial District and Midtown. Like Park Slope, the neighborhood is popular with Manhattanites who want to raise children in a bigger home.
