The low density and intimate feel of Park Slope offers the perfect urban lifestyle, a small town in the big city. Beginning at Prospect Park West and gently sloping down to 4th avenue lies an extensive array of Victorian era brownstone and limestone townhouses. Two avenues filled with independent retail stores and restaurants run the length of the neighborhood. The side streets are lined with high stoops and bay front homes.
At the top of the slope sits Prospect Park, the 526 acre parkland created by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux. The experience of living in Park Slope is shaped by the close proximity to great shopping and food, bike and jogging paths in Prospect Park, farmers markets, playgrounds, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Grand Army Plaza, and The Brooklyn Museum.
