About the neighborhood
America's first suburb
When steam ferries began crossing the East River in the 1830s, Manhattan's elite built homes on this bluff, and Brooklyn Heights became what is often called America's first suburb. The brownstone and brick row houses, many predating the Civil War, span Greek Revival, Gothic, and Late Victorian styles, all protected within New York's first designated historic district. Writers kept coming too: Walt Whitman, Truman Capote, and W.H. Auden all lived here.
Montague Street functions as the village main street, with bookstores, cafes, and local shops; quieter lanes like Henry Street hold the favorite restaurants. The Promenade delivers the skyline view the neighborhood is famous for, with Brooklyn Bridge Park below and the Brooklyn Historical Society's Renaissance Revival building nearby. It is calmer than adjacent Downtown Brooklyn, and residents, through long-standing community associations, work to keep it that way.
