Neighborhood Description Brooklyn's East Flatbush accommodates is a series of neighborhoods located in Central Brooklyn. Although most can agree there is no "typical" outer-borough neighborhood, the diverse mix of housing options in this section of Brooklyn makes for an interesting blend of New York's low-rise architecture. East Flatbush apartments can be found in a swath of sizes and buildings, from multi-family units to single-family homes. While East Flatbush apartments can be found in a rather large section of Brooklyn, there are only a few options for public transportation. Most subway lines that service this section only run along the Western end of the neighborhood. These two lines, the numbers 2 and 5 Trains run along Nostrand Avenue, yet are only convenient for those living nearby. But for most residents of these Brooklyn apartments, the bus is part of the commute, as most lines stop at major subway stations along both the Nostrand Ave Line (2 & 5 Trains), the Eastern Parkway line (3 & 4 Trains) and the Brighton Line (B & Q Trains). Life around this part of Brooklyn involves the little shops, restaurants, and bakeries that make it unique. Several cafes have a strong Caribbean flavor, while other food stops have a distinctly local atmosphere. Although East Flatbush isn't the most park-abundant place to move, it is just a quick bus or subway ride away from Brooklyn's most popular green space. One of New York's largest and most well-landscaped area is Prospect Park, which sits just to the northwest of the neighborhood. With several open lawns, playgrounds, and BBQ pits, this space is a great spot for Brooklynites to picnic on a sunny, summer weekend. If you're looking for a rather affordable NY apartment in a residential area, the section of East Flatbush is worth a look.
