CROWN HEIGHTS

Crown Heights stands as one of Brooklyn’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, where classic architecture meets modern vibrancy. Once developed as a suburban haven for Manhattan’s elite in the early 1900s, its Beaux-Arts and classical rowhouses along Eastern Parkway still exude timeless elegance. Over the decades, Crown Heights has transformed into a lively mosaic of Caribbean, Hasidic Jewish, and Black communities—each contributing to the area’s unique energy and traditions. Iconic events like the West Indian Day Parade and landmarks such as the Lubavitcher headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway keep its cultural heartbeat strong.
