614 Marlborough Road, 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. Ditmas Park is a bit of an architectural outlier from Brooklyn’s pre-dominant brownstones and rowhouses, rife with historic detached, single-family homes. Your face may approximate the heart eyes emoji with one look at these residences replete with porches, front yards, and gabled roofs. 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.
