Bergen Beach Real Estate

Three reasons make Bergen Beach unusually suburban for Brooklyn. First, the lot sizes are double the borough average - real backyards, not strips. Second, driveways and garages are standard, which is rare in Brooklyn. Third, the standalone houses and tree-lined streets create an Americana streetscape rare in NYC. For buyers wanting suburban living without leaving the city or its tax base, Bergen Beach delivers. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696.

Bergen Beach is dominated by standalone houses on lots TWICE the Brooklyn average size. Tree-lined streets, driveways, garages, and yards define the inventory - all unusually suburban for Brooklyn. To browse Bergen Beach listings, call (718) 666-2696.

Bergen Beach lacks direct subway service - the trade-off for the suburban feel. Most residents drive or use bus connections to nearby subway stations. Travel times to Manhattan typically run 60 to 90 minutes by transit. Driving is faster and Bergen Beach homes typically have driveways and garages.

Bergen Beach is known as the Brooklyn neighborhood that offers real suburban living without leaving the city. The average lot size is DOUBLE the Brooklyn average - hence Bergen Beach's nickname as the home of the "big backyard." A century ago Bergen Beach was an island off Canarsie before connecting to the mainland. Today the tree-lined streets, standalone houses, driveways, and garages give it a suburban-Americana feel rare in NYC. Kings Plaza Mall (1.1 million square feet, 150+ shops) and Joseph T. McGuire Park (tennis, volleyball, roller hockey, baseball) anchor recreational life. Bergen Beach Cafe has been serving traditional Italian dishes for over 25 years.
