207 Prospect Park SW, Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, NY 11218

Wedged between two distinct classes of green paradise in Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery, Windsor Terrace was long renowned for its location. More so than proximity to nature, its establishment in the extreme northwest corner of the Town of Flatbush was the difference-maker. Right over the border and yet far enough outside the City of Brooklyn, folks could easily partake in or ignore metropolis to their heart’s content. Today, the area remains something of an enclave, a slanting gateway between city and town. Brick rowhouses and wood-frame townhouses entice, and the lack of a true through-street reduces traffic noise, contributing to an overall “quiet” reputation. Though only half a square mile large, Windsor Terrace still fits in multiple subway stations that service the F and G lines. The park entrance and memorial at Bartel-Pritchard Square are a short trip to Lookout Hill and perhaps the best views in Prospect Park.
