“Not only is it an incredibly beautiful neighborhood, it’s also very historic so some of the oldest houses in Brooklyn- if not the oldest-are in Brooklyn Heights,” said Lindsay Barton Barrett, associate real estate broker at Douglas Elliman.īecause the neighborhood was developed quite early on compared to some of its neighbors, like Downtown Brooklyn and Dumbo, there isn’t much room left for new buildings to rise, however, a handful have crept up on some of the last remaining parcels of vacant land. Its high concentration of prewar homes and historic institutions led to it being the first neighborhood to be granted protection under New York City’s 1965 Landmarks Preservation Law and in 1966, Brooklyn Heights was added to the National Register of Historic Places as means to preserve its unique character while thoughtfully welcoming new developments.

Brooklyn Heights has long been regarded as one of the borough’s most desired neighborhoods.
