About East

Flatbush

East Flatbush, located between Prospect Park and Canarsie, is a residential and commercial New York neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and busy retail corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Church Avenue near Flatbush Avenue, where bakeries, barbershops, produce markets, and takeout counters keep the sidewalks in motion. Brick rowhouses, detached homes, and mid-century apartment buildings shape a streetscape of porches, stoops, and small front gardens. Wingate Park adds ballfields and shaded paths, while nearby Prospect Park widens the outdoor routine. Community pillars include Peaches HotHouse, Lips Café, and Kings Theatre, anchoring nights out beyond the local avenues.

Low-Density Contextual Residence District

R5 districts allow a variety of housing at a higher density than permitted in R3-2 and R4 districts. The floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.25 typically produces three-and four-story attached houses and small apartment houses. With a height limit of 40 feet, R5 districts provide a transition between lower- and higher-density neighborhoods and are widely mapped in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Portions of Windsor Terrace and Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn are R5 districts.
