Mill Basin is known as a quiet waterfront neighborhood in South Brooklyn that was actually an island until the turn of the century. The neighborhood originally served as an agricultural region for Manhattan before its 1920s and 1940s housing boom. Top-ranked schools (highest math and reading scores citywide) anchor the family appeal. Mill Basin's green spaces have undergone substantial renovations including ball fields. The Kings Plaza Shopping Center (130+ stores) and Marina (160 slips) are the neighborhood's major commercial anchor. To explore Mill Basin real estate, call (718) 666-2696.
