About Park Slope

Park Slope is Brooklyn's quintessential family neighborhood, where stroller-pushing parents fill the sidewalks of tree-lined blocks with stunning brownstones. The neighborhood slopes down from Prospect Park — Frederick Law Olmsted's masterpiece that rivals Central Park — to 4th Avenue. 5th Avenue is the commercial spine with restaurants, boutiques, and cafes; 7th Avenue has a more local feel with wine bars and neighborhood shops. The area attracts young families seeking excellent public schools (PS 321 is legendary), safe streets, and a tight-knit community. Rents are among Brooklyn's highest, and co-op brownstones can sell for millions. The Food Coop on Union Street is a famous (or infamous) members-only grocery that exemplifies the neighborhood's community ethos.
