THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Enjoy the vibe of a neighborhood close to Brighton and Coney Island beaches, beautiful parks, night life and more. This booming area will make you feel lucky to live where others vacation.
The neighborhood features a cinema, Russian baths, Enrico Caruso museum of America, specialty book store with rare books (right across the street), Kelly Park & Mellet Playground, restaurants, schools, banks, post office and more. Just a block away on Avenue U, you can find what you need to get your errands done right in your neighborhood. The Q train is conveniently four blocks away and access to the bus is available right in front of the building.
Sheepshead Bay extends far beyond the southern shores of the Brooklyn bay that supplies its name. Even at the inland center of this large, relaxed neighborhood, a hint of sea breeze and coastal charm can be detected in the air. The area offers a mix of classic NYC haunts and local quirks, making residents proud and inspiring newcomers to stop and linger.
The Q train cuts through the center of Sheepshead Bay. Get off at Avenue U and wend your way through the neighborhood, or wait until the Sheepshead Bay Q stop and find yourself right where the city and the water meet. Either way, you’ll find 1970s-era single-family homes, a long-established Slavic community, a burgeoning Chinese population and the strong scent of sea air.
Sort of. Before the Hamptons were a thing, New Yorkers summered on Brooklyn’s Gold Coast, a long swath of beach stretching from Coney Island to the far eastern end of Sheepshead Bay. The area was dotted with fancy hotels, casinos, racetracks and other rowdy, turn-of-the-century attractions.
