Brooklyn Heights, across the East River from Lower Manhattan, became New York City's first historic district in 1965. Its blocks of pre-war brownstones and co-ops sit next to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The 2/3 at Clark St, the A/C at High St, the R at Court St and the 2/3/4/5 at Borough Hall put most of Manhattan within a short ride.
Brooklyn Heights is among the borough's priciest areas: Tami's spring 2026 notes put DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights at $1,300+ per square foot. Price figures are ranges from Tami's spring 2026 market notes on this site, not quotes for a specific home; check current listings and recent sales before you decide.
Much of the housing is pre-war, so review building financials, reserve funds and facade inspection (Local Law 11) status. Landmark rules also affect what you can change on a building's exterior.
