Why is Cypress Hills a good investment opportunity?

Cypress Hills sits at the intersection of two value catalysts: it's one of the last affordable parts of East New York, AND it's included in the city's rezoning plan adding 1,200 affordable housing units through 2017+. The rezoning momentum, combined with proximity to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and improving parks, supports continued appreciation. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696.

How long is the commute from Cypress Hills to Manhattan?

Cypress Hills has good transit options as one of the original commuter neighborhoods. The neighborhood sits abutting Woodhaven, Queens to the east. Travel times to Manhattan range from 40 to 60 minutes depending on the line.

What is Cypress Hills known for?

Cypress Hills is located in the north-easternmost part of Brooklyn, just north of Canarsie. The neighborhood started as an 1830s commuter town around mass-transit train lines and has witnessed waves of immigration through its history - German, Irish, Italian, Polish, Black, Latino (Dominican, Central American, Guyanese), and more recently Haitian, Jamaican, Indian, Pakistani, Korean, and Chinese. The result is wide multi-ethnic eateries and specialty shops. The 3.3-acre Evergreen Park adjoining the Cemetery of the Evergreens, plus the 4,000+ acre Jamaica Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, are the natural-area crown jewels. Linden Park received a $3.5M overhaul with running track, multi-lined field, and basketball courts. To explore Cypress Hills real estate, call (718) 666-2696.
