Brooklyn Heights, located between Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Bridge Park, is a historic and residential New York neighborhood with brownstone-lined blocks and a waterfront promenade. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Montague Street near Clinton Street, where independent bookstores, cafes, and small boutiques set a polished, unhurried pace. The Brooklyn Heights Promenade frames postcard views of the Manhattan skyline and the harbor. Landmark rowhouses and prewar co-ops define the streetscape, with quiet garden squares tucked behind stoops. Community pillars include the Brooklyn Historical Society (Center for Brooklyn History), St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, and the New York Transit Museum nearby in Boerum Hill.

R6
LH-1
General Residence District
R6 zoning districts are widely mapped in built-up, medium-density areas in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The character of R6 districts can range from neighborhoods with a diverse mix of building types and heights to large-scale tower in the park developments such as Ravenswood in Queens and Homecrest in Brooklyn. Developers can choose between two sets of bulk regulations. Standard height factor regulations, introduced in 1961, produce small multi-family buildings on small zoning lots and, on larger lots, tall buildings that are set back from the street. Optional Quality Housing regulations produce high lot coverage buildings within height limits that often reflect the scale of older, pre-1961 apartment buildings in the neighborhood.
