The Neighborhood
One of Brooklyn's Best Addresses.
Crown Heights carries the kind of weight that only comes with time. Architecturally striking, culturally layered, and more alive than most. The brownstone-lined streets, the grand parkways, the decades of history embedded in every block. 960 Franklin Avenue sits at the center of a neighborhood that has never needed to prove itself.
