Industry City

Greenwood Heights is a picturesque Brooklyn neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, and proximity to the iconic Green-Wood Cemetery. Located at the border of Sunset Park and Park Slope, 875 Fourth Avenue sits in the heart of this charming area, offering residents the perfect blend of residential tranquility and urban convenience.

A Neighborhood with History

Greenwood Heights takes its name from the magnificent Green-Wood Cemetery, a National Historic Landmark that spans 478 acres and serves as one of Brooklyn's most treasured green spaces. The neighborhood developed in the late 19th century around this landmark, with many of its streets featuring well-preserved brownstones and row houses that give the area its distinctive architectural character. Today, Greenwood Heights maintains this historic charm while welcoming modern developments like 875 Fourth Avenue that complement the neighborhood's aesthetic.

Green-Wood Cemetery: Brooklyn's Central Park

Just a 12-minute walk from 875 Fourth Avenue, Green-Wood Cemetery is far more than a cemetery—it's a cultural institution, arboretum, and recreational space all in one. The grounds feature rolling hills, glacial ponds, and thousands of trees, making it a popular destination for joggers, bird watchers, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape from city life. The cemetery hosts regular events including concerts, tours, and art installations, and its Gothic Revival entrance arch is considered one of the finest examples of the style in America.

The Best of Both Worlds

Living in Greenwood Heights means enjoying a quieter, more residential atmosphere while remaining just minutes from Brooklyn's most exciting destinations. Industry City's food halls and shops are a 5-minute walk away. The vibrant dining and nightlife of Park Slope is easily accessible. Prospect Park is a short subway ride or bike ride. And with the 36th Street D/N/R station just 2 minutes from 875 Fourth Avenue, Manhattan is less than 25 minutes away.

New restaurants, cafes, and boutiques have opened along Fourth Avenue and the surrounding streets. The neighborhood attracts young professionals, families, and creatives who appreciate its convenient location, more affordable rents compared to Park Slope, and authentic Brooklyn character. 875 Fourth Avenue represents the new generation of luxury living in Greenwood Heights, offering modern amenities in a neighborhood that still feels like a true community.
