About Greenwood Heights

Recent new real estate development, curbed with the rezoning of the area in November 2005, has brought an influx of luxury condominium apartments into a residential area that was mainly made up of 1- and 2-family homes. Post-rezoning, while new development sites have occurred, there has been a new trend of home renovations, many of them “gut renovations” but others taking neglected c. 1900 wood-frame houses and restoring them to their historical look.

Demographics

Greenwood Heights is a mixed neighborhood of Hispanics, older Polish American and Italian American families, Chinese, African American, and middle class Brooklynites who have relocated from other higher-priced neighborhoods.

History

It was one of the sites of the sprawling Battle of Brooklyn (Battle of Long Island) in August 1776, a pivotal battle in the American Revolutionary War to famous residents of Green-Wood Cemetery. In the 19th through middle 20th centuries the economy was dominated by the working Brooklyn waterfront.

Infrastructure

The neighborhood is served by the 36th Street, 25th Street, and Prospect Avenue stations on the New York City Subway’s BMT Fourth Avenue Line, served by the D, ​N, ​R, and ​W trains.

Greenwood Heights’ architectural mix of wood frame, vinyl sided and brick homes gives the area an eclectic look and feel, different from its neighbors Park Slope to the north and Sunset Park to the south.

It has a primary school, Public School 172. In 1995, Al-Noor School, a private school teaching Arabic and Islamic culture was established on between 20th and 21st street on 4th avenue.
