Greenwood Heights

Why Greenwood Heights?

Greenwood Heights is a quaint Brooklyn neighborhood nestled between Park Slope and Sunset Park, where the iconic Green-Wood Cemetery dominates much of the landscape. Residents enjoy highly rated public schools, a low-density population, and plenty of green space. The residential character is defined largely by one- and two-family townhomes and boutique condos, with few buildings rising above the tree line — lending the area a low-key, friendly vibe. Properties here trade at relatively accessible prices compared to just a few blocks north, making Greenwood Heights a welcomer discovery for buyers expanding their search from nearby neighborhoods. Many who find it never look back.

Where is Greenwood Heights?

Greenwood Heights spans from the Prospect Expressway down to 36th Street and over to the East River. In terms of travel, simply jump on the D, N, or R subway lines to visit.
