Ditmas Park Apartments for rent

Ditmas Park is a historic district in the neighborhood of Flatbush, Brooklyn that was formerly owned by the Ditmas family, the area remaining rural until the 1890s.

This area was first settled by Dutch farmers in the 1600s who built their homes on top of the Ditmas Bayshore – a hilly landscape near Calvert Vaux Park. There are many similarly named streets including Vanderveer Stret, Cortelyou Road, Ditmas Ave., Coney Island Ave., and Hendrickson Place to name just a few.

At one point, this region seemed like it would never be developed into housing as it was too far from Downtown Brooklyn- only six miles away. The community's development finally began after 1886 when trolley lines were extended to the area. Soon thereafter, large houses started being built for wealthy owners who wanted to escape city life.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Ditmas Park United Methodist Church built in 1887 is also included on the list of historical places, as are all the buildings on Cortelyou Road between Stratford Rd. and Westminster Rd., which were built between 1886 and 1904 .

It's a wonderful area to enjoy peace & tranquility away from the hustle & bustle of city life. If you want to live among people who value preserving history as opposed to tearing it down to make way for new buildings, Ditmas Park is a great choice.
