What is Canarsie known for?

Canarsie is known as a suburban dream within Brooklyn - large parks, breezes from Jamaica Bay, residential houses lined with driveways and yards rather than concrete sidewalks.

Many sports fields support youth and adult athletics. The neighborhood is one of the few places in NYC where having a car is common and useful. To explore Canarsie real estate, call (718) 666-2696.
