Neighborhood Profile

Flatbush: the world in one neighborhood.

Flatbush stretches from Prospect Park south through Ditmas Park and East Flatbush, anchored by Flatbush Avenue -- one of Brooklyn's longest and most vibrant commercial corridors. The neighborhood is defined by its extraordinary diversity: Jamaican, Haitian, Trinidadian, Guyanese, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and West African communities create a street life and food scene unlike anywhere else in the city.

Brooklyn College (18,000+ students) anchors the southern end, while the restored Kings Theatre -- a 3,000-seat 1929 movie palace -- hosts concerts and cultural events. Ditmas Park, with its Victorian homes and tree-lined Cortelyou Road, adds a distinct residential character to the broader neighborhood.

Prospect Park's southern border runs along the neighborhood, offering 585 acres of green space. Church Avenue and Nostrand Avenue are major commercial corridors with Caribbean bakeries, jerk chicken spots, roti shops, and neighborhood markets that have served the community for decades.
