About Park Slope
Park Slope, as covered here, runs from Flatbush Avenue south toward 15th Street, between Fourth Avenue and Prospect Park West. The area further south, often called South Slope, is covered separately.
The neighborhood climbs from Fourth Avenue up to Prospect Park, the 526-acre park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Most of its blocks were built up between the 1880s and the 1910s with brownstone and limestone row houses; the streets nearest the park, including Prospect Park West, have the largest houses and several pre-war apartment buildings. The Park Slope Historic District, designated in 1973, covers a large part of the neighborhood and has since been extended twice.
Fifth and Seventh Avenues are the main shopping streets. Grand Army Plaza, at the northeast corner, is home to the Central Library of the Brooklyn Public Library. Fourth Avenue, on the western edge, was rezoned for larger buildings and now has many of the neighborhood’s newer condominiums.
Landmarks Preservation Commission historic districts in the neighborhood include the Park Slope Historic District, the Park Slope Historic District Extension and the Park Slope Historic District Extension II. Exterior changes to buildings inside a historic district need Commission approval, which is worth knowing before buying a townhouse or planning a renovation. Check any address on the LPC designations map.
