Listing by Irina Troitsky• Dreamlife Realty New York LLC
Brighton Beach, located between Coney Island and Manhattan Beach, is a waterfront and transit-rich New York neighborhood with a broad boardwalk and a busy commercial spine. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Brighton Beach Avenue at Brighton 6th Street, where produce markets, bakeries, cafés, and late-night eateries cluster under the elevated tracks. Mid-rise brick co-ops and prewar apartment houses line the side streets, while the shoreline opens to wide sand and long ocean views. The Riegelmann Boardwalk sets a steady rhythm for walks, runs, and people-watching. New York Aquarium, Tatiana Restaurant, and the Brighton Beach Bathing Pavilion act as local pillars. The B and Q at Brighton Beach station keeps the pace connected to the rest of the city.

R7-1
C1-2
General Residence District
R7 districts are medium-density apartment house districts mapped in much of the Bronx as well as the Upper West Side in Manhattan and Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. The height factor regulations for R7 districts encourage lower apartment buildings on smaller zoning lots and, on larger lots, taller buildings with less lot coverage. As an alternative, developers may choose the optional Quality Housing regulations to build lower buildings with greater lot coverage. Regulations for residential development in R7-1 and R7-2 districts are essentially the same except that R7-2 districts, which are mapped primarily in upper Manhattan, have lower parking requirements.
