Prospect Park South

A historic district with undeniable charm.

19th century developer Dean Alvord bought this land with the intention of bringing the countryside into New York City, and his vision is largely alive today; trees are set back from the street and plots are large, ensuring a leafy, suburban feel. The architecture varies from home to home, lending the area a slightly quirky feel.
