What is the difference between Ditmas Park and Flatbush?

Ditmas Park is a small, distinct historic district within the larger neighborhood of Flatbush. Flatbush is a big, diverse, densely populated central-Brooklyn neighborhood with apartment buildings, rowhouses, and busy commercial corridors. Ditmas Park, by contrast, is a leafy enclave of grand freestanding Victorian houses with a quiet, almost suburban feel and its own protected historic character. Buyers looking in Flatbush encounter a wide range of housing and prices, while Ditmas Park specifically is known for its distinctive detached homes and community atmosphere.
