Dyker Heights
Runs from 7th Avenue to the west, 14th Avenue to the east, 65th Street to the north and 86th Street to the south (excepting the Dyker Beach Golf course, which extends to the Belt Parkway).
Cozy brick row houses, apartment buildings and one- and two-family semi- and detached properties highlight this area. One of the most unique residential attractions in Dyker Heights are the mansions located on and off 11th Avenue from 86th Street to 79th Street. Not estates per say, these impressive homes are mostly three stories, with driveways, yards and basements.
And Dyker Heights homes get decked to the nines around Christmas time. The most famous and extensive display of decorations in New York, this 'miracle mile' (84th Street, between 10th and 12th Avenues) has attractions like 30-foot high moving wooden soldiers, giant toy trains that kids can ride, life-size mangers and millions of lights covering roofs and lawns. The elaborate displays draw up to 100,000 visitors every year. The phenomenon was even chronicled in a PBS documentary, 'Dyker Lights.'
But beautiful homes aren't the only things to boast about in Dyker Heights. The 46-acre Dyker Beach Park, 18-hole city-owned Dyker Beach Golf Course and 8.5-acre McKinley Park offer tons of recreation. In addition, the nabe offers a thriving commercial district. 13th Avenue (also known as Dyker Heights Boulevard) has everything from gourmet food shops, bakeries and butchers, to tailors and pharmacies.
