In many of our densely populated neighborhoods in Brooklyn, NY there are amazing development projects under way with beautifully designed high rise office buildings, cutting edge architecture used to build large mixed use buildings and a sea of new hip, high tech and fancy looking residential towers being built. But then there are the conjoined neighborhoods of Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park that could not be more different then these other neighborhoods. If you want to live in Brooklyn, but yearn for a neighborhood with a wonderful old world suburban landscape with a look and feel of early 20th Century Brooklyn living, Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park fit the bill to a tea. Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park have been designated as a 12 block Historic district. Neighborhood boundaries are Foster Avenue, Avenue H, Ocean Avenue and the subway tracts of the B & Q trains.
The housing stock in Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park consists of magnificent Queen Anne and Colonial Revival style homes with wide spacious front porches and lush gardens. Fred Baer, a former president of The Fiske Terrace Association says “ people come here and can’t believe that they are in the center of Brooklyn”. An interesting fact about the houses of Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park is that starting in 1905 the homes were built from prefabricated set patterns, yet there are some distinctive exterior differences in the look of many of the homes. John Corbin and George B. Fiske were the developers of many of these homes. Architect Benjamin Dreisler designed over 100 houses in the Fiske Terrace and Midwood Park neighborhoods as well as in the Ditmas Park Historic district.
The price range of houses in the area is from $1.3M to $1.5M for a 3 to 5 bedroom one family home to $2M+ for a larger 6 + bedroom home.
The walkability of these neighborhoods is excellent with public transportation to Manhattan on Avenue H for the Q local train and Newkirk Plaza for the express B train and the local Q train.
