Geographic Profile: Park Slope, Brooklyn

I moved to Park Slope in August 2004. When I told my grandma – a lifelong Brooklynite – where we bought a condo, she replied, “well that’s not a great area.” Of course, she was talking about 20 or 30 years ago. It turns out, the Slope today is a great area. The combination of beautiful 19^th century architecture, a clear grid system of streets, and proximity to Prospect Park, subway lines, and Manhattan combine to offer what I think of as the best neighborhood in New York City.
