Weeksville, located between Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, is a historic and residential New York neighborhood with a storied past and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Buffalo Avenue near the Weeksville Heritage Center, where brownstone blocks meet community gardens and small storefronts. Weeksville Heritage Center anchors local history with preserved 19th-century houses and rotating exhibitions. Brower Park and the Brooklyn Children’s Museum add a cultural-and-green-space rhythm along Eastern Parkway’s edge. Architecture leans toward brick rowhouses, wood-frame remnants, and mid-century apartment buildings, with a calm, lived-in pace.

R6
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.
