Lenox Road Brooklyn NY 11203

The eastern part of Flatbush, bordered by Brownsville and Carnasie, East Flatbush is a diverse residential suburb full of shopping and restaurants. A fusion of city and suburban life, this neighborhood has a lot to offer those who call it home.

Flatbush was founded in 1651 under the name, Midwout, by the Dutch settlers of the area. Once the British took over in 1664, it became the county seat Kings County. A bustling town, Flatbush remained the county seat until 1894 when it was incorporated into the town of Brooklyn.

Once Brooklyn became part of New York City in 1898, East Flatbush largely became a commuter neighborhood for Brooklyn and Manhattan, while Flatbush proper remained a relatively popular area. In the mid-1900's large swaths of Haitian immigrants began living here, adding their culture and influence to the neighborhood.

Though East Flatbush had some rough times during the Civil Rights era, the 1990's saw a vast reduction in crime…
