Why choose Dyker Heights over other South Brooklyn neighborhoods?

Dyker Heights offers something rare in modern NYC - protected old-fashioned character. The rezoning protection against high-rises and density means what you buy today will stay that way. The 1895 high-end speculative origins give it architectural character. The Dyker Beach Golf Course is a quality-of-life perk. The trade-off is the distance from subway stations - drivers love it, transit-dependent commuters less so. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696.

What kind of housing is available in Dyker Heights?

How long is the commute from Dyker Heights to Manhattan?

Dyker Heights' distance from subway stations is a defining feature - it's part of why the neighborhood has kept its old-fashioned character. Most residents drive or take bus connections. Travel times to Manhattan typically run 50 to 75 minutes.

What is Dyker Heights known for?

Dyker Heights is known for keeping a lower profile than surrounding Brooklyn enclaves, partly due to distance from subway stations that has protected it from major developers. A city rezoning proposal was approved to protect against high-rises and density - reinforcing the neighborhood's old-fashioned character. Dyker Heights originated as a speculative high-end development in 1895 when Walter Loveridge Johnson built a suburban community on wooded land, reserving the 110-foot hill at Eleventh Avenue and 82nd Street for his finest homes. The Dyker Beach Golf Course is a beautiful neighborhood feature. To explore Dyker Heights real estate, call (718) 666-2696.
