870 Ocean Avenue, Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, NY 11226

Longing for a more suburban lifestyle but can’t give up the dream of a New York City zip code? You may find a home in Ditmas Park. Quite literally, actually: A bit of an architectural outlier from Brooklyn’s pre-dominant brownstones and rowhouses, Ditmas Park is rife with historic detached, single-family homes. Replete with porches, front yards, and gabled roofs, your face may approximate the heart eyes emoji with one look. In the neighborhood’s historic district — on streets with expressive names like Rugby and Argyle — you can find Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Tudor, and Craftsman homes. With so many Victorian-style abodes, it’s no wonder the area is considered part of “Victorian Flatbush.” If you want the location without desiring the title of “homeowner,” Ditmas Park is not without its share of apartment buildings, generally found closer to the commercial hub of Cortelyou Road.
