Richard Meier On Prospect Park, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11238

Prospect Heights sits north of Prospect Park, south of Atlantic Avenue, east of Flatbush, and west of Washington. Its location is one of its principal appeals, with 10 subway lines and the Long Island Rail Road serving Atlantic Terminal—just about every Brooklyn highlight feels a stone’s throw away. The area exudes an exceptionally relaxed feel for such a central corner of New York City, and that’s influenced largely by the 526-acre urban oasis next door. Leafy blocks of 19th-century row houses comprise the bulk of Prospect Heights, along with some larger apartment buildings from the same period. The development of Pacific Park, surrounding the Barclays Center, has ushered newer and more skyward luxury developments along the neighborhood’s northern edge, concentrated on the blocks between Atlantic and Dean Street.
