Flatbush

Where Brooklyn welcomes the world.

Founded by the Dutch in 1651, the sleepy village surrounded by bucolic farmlands was transformed into a busy urban center by the construction of Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Bridge. Over the course of decades, Flatbush has served as a landing ground for waves of immigrants: Italians, Jamaicans, Southeast Asians, Pakistanis. Today, thanks to its affordability and unique community, Flatbush is drawing large numbers of young families and professionals.
