Cypress Hills Real Estate

Cypress Hills is in Brooklyn, though it sits right on the Queens border, which is the source of frequent confusion. It occupies the far northeastern corner of the borough, next to the large Cypress Hills cemeteries that give it its name, bordered by East New York to the south and Woodhaven, Queens to the east. Despite its position at the edge of Brooklyn, Cypress Hills is firmly a Brooklyn neighborhood, served by the J, Z, C, and L subway lines.

Cypress Hills is one of the more affordable neighborhoods in Brooklyn, offering low prices for homes and two-family properties. Its housing of rowhouses, detached and semi-detached homes, and apartments appeals to first-time buyers and investors seeking value and rental income. Prices have risen with demand and nearby development over the years but remain among the most accessible in the borough. For buyers prioritizing homeownership, space, and value, Cypress Hills offers real opportunity in a transit-connected location.

Cypress Hills appeals to buyers seeking affordability, homeownership, and community in a well-connected corner of Brooklyn. It offers rowhouses, two-family homes, and apartments at some of the borough's lower prices, a vibrant, diverse immigrant community, and good transit on the J, Z, C, and L lines. Its two-family homes are popular with buyers seeking rental income. Bordering Queens and Highland Park, it remains a working, value-oriented neighborhood, appealing especially to first-time buyers and those seeking a home of their own.

Cypress Hills is a residential neighborhood on Brooklyn's northeastern edge, and safety varies block by block, as in many neighborhoods in transition. Much of it consists of quiet streets of rowhouses and two-family homes with a strong, family-oriented immigrant community and high homeownership, while some areas remain more challenged. Crime has trended down over the years. Common-sense awareness is sensible, as anywhere, but many residents find Cypress Hills a settled, community-minded place to live.

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.

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.

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.
