Ditmas Park
Ditmas Park sits between Prospect Park South and Midwood, with shops and restaurants along Cortelyou Road and Newkirk Avenue. The Ditmas Park Historic District, designated in 1981, is smaller than the wider neighborhood that goes by the same name.
Shows regular daytime service, including stations at the neighborhood's edge. The B and 5 run in Brooklyn on weekdays only. Late-night and rush-hour-only lines aren't listed.
The Homes
Many homes here are large, freestanding houses with gables and front porches, built in the early 1900s. Styles range from Colonial Revival and Queen Anne to Craftsman bungalows and Tudor, and apartment buildings are also part of the wider area.
Before You Sell
Landmark rules depend on your exact address. The original district covers only part of the area, and in November 2025 the city designated two more nearby, Ditmas Park West and Beverley Square West. Check your property's current status before you plan exterior work or market it as landmarked.

A home valuation is a real estate salesperson's opinion of market value. It is not an appraisal. If your home is currently listed with another broker, this is not a solicitation of that listing.
