What was once more of an agricultural part of the borough (previously called Pigtown), Wingate was renamed in the early 2000s after many new residents started flooding into Brooklyn. With easy access to other parts of NYC, you get to choose the vibe you’re looking for when commuting to and from this diverse and largely residential neighborhood. All this to say, if you want all the cachet of a Brooklyn address without the same hustle and bustle going on in the rest of the city, Wingate may be just the right place for you.

Our top Wingate Moving Tips
Located in the north-central part of Brooklyn, Wingate is sometimes considered part of East Flatbush (to the south), Prospect Lefferts Gardens (to the west), and Crown Heights (to the north and east). But, there are more defined bounds that are generally recognized within the area. You’ll find it tops out at Empire Boulevard to the north and the southern border runs along Winthrop Street. East to West, the neighborhood stretches from Troy Avenue to New York Avenue.
To know a bit more about what makes this neighborhood stand apart, it may be wise for a new resident to understand what to expect when moving to Wingate. Here’s a few details we think are key to know:
- It’s got a little bit of everything. This pocket of suburbia in the major metropolis of NYC is something to behold. Wingate really does have a number of the amenities you may be looking for within a new neighborhood. Those relocating with children will be happy to know there are about 17 schools within its bounds. After school lets out, there’s several green spaces that you and your family can get some play time in. Run a few laps around the track or skip around the playground with your little ones at Wingate Park. Or, if playing ball is more your speed, make a day of it playing baseball, handball, or basketball at Hamilton Metz Field. When the weather gets too cold or you need specific equipment, there’s also a number of gyms and even a dance studio in your ‘hood. Afterwards, you can take a time out from all the fun and grab a java and a snack at a cute local coffee shop, like Brooklyn Artisan Bakehouse.
- Getting around. Within the neighborhood, many residents agree that it’s pretty walkable. They report that there are a lot of sidewalks to traverse on foot safely and even 80% say that there are grocery stores that are withing walking distance. If you plan on breaking out of your suburban-like cocoon to get a taste of what the rest of the city has to offer, you’ll be pleased to know that Manhattan is just over a half an hour commute from where you’ll call home. Don’t worry if you won’t have a car though, Wingate offers access to several MTA subway lines and express buses. For instance, walk west of New York Avenue to Nostrand Avenue and catch the 2 subway train to Manhattan. You’ll be in Battery Park (at the southern tip of the island) in under an hour. The B12 bus also runs within the neighborhood to get you where you need to go. More great news? Taking these public transit options will only run you $2.75 for a one-way ride, so you can spend more of your money enjoying NYC.
- The cost of housing. You’ll find properties of all types in Wingate, from single family homes and co-ops to townhomes and apartments. About a quarter of neighborhood residents own their homes. If you plan to be among them, you’ll be looking at a median sale price of $725K. In Brooklyn overall, the median home sale price is $818K, so you’re likely to find a home here that’s a bit more affordable than other parts of the borough. The majority of Wingate residents rent their homes. For those looking for the perfect apartment, you’ll be looking at a per month cost of about $1,700 to $4,350. While it may be in line with the rent in other parts of the city, it may all be about what fits best for you overall — a “just outside the city” feel without having to leave the city.
