Is Borough Park an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood?

Yes. Borough Park is home to one of the largest Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish communities in the world outside of Israel, and that community defines the neighborhood's character, institutions, and daily life. It contains numerous synagogues, yeshivas, and community organizations, and its businesses and services cater largely to the community. Housing demand is heavily driven by large local families. For buyers, Borough Park is a distinctive, stable, and highly community-oriented neighborhood, particularly well suited to those who are part of or connected to its community.
