What is the difference between Crown Heights and Prospect Heights?

Crown Heights and Prospect Heights sit side by side but differ in scale and price. Prospect Heights is smaller, more established, and more expensive, anchored by Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park, with a polished condo-and-brownstone market. Crown Heights, just to the east, is larger and more diverse, with handsome brownstones and pre-war co-ops often at more accessible prices, especially away from the northern border. Buyers often weigh Prospect Heights' prestige and amenities against Crown Heights' scale and value.
