Due to its magnificent architecture (one of the largest Historical Districts in the US), diverse people of all colors and race and income level, its cultural and educational institutions, its social, familial and culinary vibrancy, its close proximity to Manhattan, its convenient subway lines, fine restaurants, shops, and so much more - Park Slope is clearly one of America's finest neighborhoods.

Park Slope boasts some remarkable institutions, such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Prospect Park, designed by Olmsted and Vaux after they completed Manhattan's Central Park, is one of New York's true masterpieces and one of the neighborhood's main draws. It is vibrant all year round, with cultural events, outdoor activities, music, recreation, boating and much more.

Park Slope is roughly bounded by Prospect Park West to the east, Fourth Avenue to the west, Flatbush Avenue to the north, and 15th Street to the south. Click here for a map for the area.

In December 2006, Natural Home magazine named Park Slope one of America's ten best neighborhoods based on criteria including parks, green spaces and neighborhood gathering spaces, farmer’s markets and community gardens, public transportation and locally-owned businesses, and environmental and social policy.
