Brownstone Brooklyn real estate
Brooklyn's historic townhouse neighborhoods
Brownstone Brooklyn describes the 19th-century neighborhoods of northwest Brooklyn, from Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO on the waterfront to Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant to the east. Most of their best blocks are protected historic districts.
Each neighborhood has its own character: the Promenade in the Heights, the front gardens of Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene Park and BAM, the mansions of Clinton Hill and the long brownstone rows of Bed-Stuy.
Riolo Properties' Brooklyn office is at 212 Court Street in Cobble Hill.
