Our top Highland Park/Cypress Hills Moving Tips
Adjacent to Highland Park, the Cypress Hills neighborhood runs partially along Jackie Robinson Parkway and just above Jamaica Avenue to the north. East to west, it spans from Eldert Lane to Eastern Parkway. The southern edge follows Atlantic Avenue and Conduit Boulevard. This part of Brooklyn is considered part of the East New York neighborhood and it sits along the Brooklyn/Queens border.
Perhaps you’ve done some research on your own, but we have a few additional details that might be good to know before you relocate to to the Highland Park/Cypress Hills area:
- Nearby attractions. Stroll down Fulton Street and you’ll likely find some Latin American specialty shops and restaurants, featuring the foods of many immigrants in the community. If you’re hoping to find a little nook to hole up in with a good book or two, check out the Arlington branch of the Brooklyn Public Library’s reading rooms. Or, if you’re looking for a more verdant spot, make your way over to Highland Park. This 141-acre green space features tennis courts and turf fields for you to recreate to your heart’s content. But, don’t forget the nearby beaches — Rockaway Beach is less than 10 miles away from the neighborhood! If you’ve got a car, it’s a 26 minute drive. Take the A subway train, and you’ll be soaking up the rays oceanside in less than one hour.
- Getting around. There are a number of options to get to and from the 225 acres of East New York that you’ll call your new home. If you’re hoping to keep your city senses about you, moving to this suburban-like neighborhood puts you only 15 miles away from Manhattan’s midtown. It’s a reasonable commute for work or play. Cypress Hill is primarily served by the MTA’s J subway trains (though the Z train is typically available during peak rush hours). Hopping on the subway will get you to Manhattan in just under 1 hour. You can also catch some buses in the area, including the 24 bus that rolls along Atlantic Avenue and the 56 bus which runs along Jamaica Avenue. Either way you go, the $2.75 per ride fare on public transit keeps costs low.
- Housing cost. The desire to have a Brooklyn, NY address has gone up in recent years. However, snagging one in this neck of the borough won’t cost you quite the hefty price for a home. The early 20th century Queen Anne-style homes with manicured lawns are much more affordable than some of the other more western Brooklyn neighborhoods. If you decide to purchase a home in the area, the median home price is currently at $995K (and $418 per square foot) which has been on the rise a bit in the past year. Only about a third of residents own their homes in Highland Park/Cypress Hills, though; over half actually rent. Even then, you should expect to see lower monthly rent rates than in the rest of the borough if that’s what you’re in the market for. Compare the average monthly rent in Brooklyn at $3,194 to the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom in Cypress Hills at $1,356 — it’s a fraction of the cost. It’s a good option if you’d like to live in New York, but save more money for all the fun and entertainment the city has to offer.
