Because of its positioning between major green spaces, Windsor Terrace offers exceptional access to walking paths, nature, and recreation. Its proximity to local amenities—shops, cafés, and restaurants—mixed with excellent transit connections makes it appealing for those who want city convenience with neighborhood calm. Over the years, Windsor Terrace has retained its distinctive identity: it’s not trendy or flashy, but dependable, quiet, and beloved by those who call it home.
Types of Homes/Inventory
Brick Row Houses & Townhouses
Many of Windsor Terrace’s streets are lined with classic Brooklyn brick row houses and brownstones. These often date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and feature stoops, bay windows, and well-maintained facades—a hallmark of the neighborhood’s character.
Wood-Frame Detached & Semi-Detached Houses
On the slope toward Caton Avenue, you’ll find wood-frame detached or semi-detached homes, some with porches, small yards, and a more suburban feel—rare touches in Brooklyn.
Low-rise Apartments, Co-ops & Newer Buildings
Along its edges, particularly near Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Park West, there are modest apartment buildings, co-ops, and newer residential developments. These tend to blend in rather than dominate, maintaining the neighborhood’s low-rise scale.
Area & Neighborhood
Boundaries & Neighbors
Windsor Terrace is bounded by Prospect Park West (north), Caton Avenue (south), McDonald Avenue / Greenwood Cemetery (west), and Prospect Park SW / Coney Island Avenue (east). It borders Park Slope, Kensington, and Greenwood Heights.
Green Spaces & Outdoor Life
With Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery on either side, residents have unmatched access to scenic walking routes, playgrounds, gardens, and seasonal programming. The neighborhood’s own quiet streets and front gardens add to its greenery.
Transit & Connectivity
While Windsor Terrace doesn’t have its own subway station, nearby lines—such as the F and G—and local buses make commuting manageable. The neighborhood’s streets are bike-friendly, and its walkability to adjacent neighborhoods is a strong plus.
Community & Local Feel
Windsor Terrace maintains a tight-knit, stable residential culture. Local businesses are few but significant, and social spots like bars, cafés, and delis serve as community hubs. The pace is slower, neighbors know each other, and the area is often perceived as “Brooklyn, but with breathing room.”
