Part of Victorian Flatbush - Ditmas Park, Brooklyn

City Walks

Jul 22

This section of Brooklyn, was land once owned by the Ditmas Family. The Ditmas Park Historic District is a National Historic District which contains approximately 2,000 buildings, mostly residential. Many of the homes are freestanding, single-family and were built between 1902 and 1914. This is a jaw-dropping beautiful neighborhood, almost too good to be true. A charming suburb inside city limits, with a warm, diverse community, big porches and a short commute to Manhattan.

Here is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!
