Prospect Park South
Prospect Park South sits just south of Prospect Park, where Dean Alvord began turning 60 acres of farmland into a planned neighborhood in 1899. The Prospect Park South Historic District was designated in 1979.
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
Large freestanding houses define the neighborhood, in styles from Colonial Revival and Queen Anne to Tudor Revival and Shingle. Developer Dean Alvord set minimum sizes and costs for the early houses, and much of that plan still shows on the street today.
Before You Sell
Few homes sell here in a typical year, and no two are alike. Pricing takes judgment about lot size, condition and original detail. Exterior changes generally need landmark approval, and buyers of older wood-frame houses will look closely at upkeep.

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.
