It’s Free to Look: This Is What Ditmas Park Is All About



Ditmas Park, New York's answer to suburbia. The place where all the cool kids go when they want to show that growing up in Montclair or White Plains or Brookline wasn't actually half-bad. The place where you can still walk to the subway or down to Cortelyou for killer coffee and the farmers market.



The place where a seven-bedroom Victorian wonder would once run you under $100,000. Now they're all well over a million, at least the nice ones, but it's still bliss.

Victorian quietude. High culture and low. Wood galore adorns the inner rooms...really, there's wood everywhere. It's like living in a secluded forest in Brooklyn.

Big City living with spacious rooms. A fine kitchen for a food-obsessed borough. How about this deck?

All flanked by a lush, landscaped back yard. There's even a koi pond! (Of course there's a koi pond.)
