Closing Bell: Where Does Park Slope End?
That’s the subject of an online discussion over at Brooklynian, where one inquirer asked just where the heck Center Slope is, as opposed to North Slope and South. One possibility: “Named streets are North Slope; Center Slope is 1st St to 9th St; South Slope is 9th St to 16th St; South of the prospect…
That’s the subject of an online discussion over at Brooklynian, where one inquirer asked just where the heck Center Slope is, as opposed to North Slope and South. One possibility: “Named streets are North Slope; Center Slope is 1st St to 9th St; South Slope is 9th St to 16th St; South of the prospect expressway is wish-it-was-Park Slope.” There are some offerings of Slopes East and West, too. They offer up NY Mag‘s boundaries (Stretching from Prospect Park West to 4th Avenue, Park Place to Prospect Expressway) and epodunk.com‘s (Bounded by 4th Avenue, Flatbush Avenue and Prospect Park West), as well as this assessment: “It means whatever the Real Estate Agent thinks that it means on any given day.” On Curbed, too.

You guys are all a**wads. The fact is you trust fund yuppie anuses are all a bunch of a-holes. Who the f**K cares where your retarded neighborhood begins and ends.
I live in Greenwood Slope on 36th. Love it!
Park Slope ends in 5_4_3_2_1_0 seconds.
I live in the Stuyvesant heights enclave of Bedford Stuyvesant. The sidewalks are wide and there are very few strollers.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I live in Kensingtonslope!
I live across from the 78th precinct on 6th ave between began and dean. The 78th precinct, on its website, claims to be in park slope, but it is on the wrong side of Flatbush. Am I in Prospect Heights? Am I in North Slope?
I just say that I live by the Atlantic yards project. I would, however, appreciate any clarity the brownstoner community can offer.
“What about zipcode? 11215.”
11215 goes past the expressway on some blocks so it doesn’t help pull the border back – all it means is that some people in the high teens get their mail from the 9th st station
North Slope has 11217 on many blocks- that means they get sorted at the Atlantic St office
Hi, Bob,
I’ve seen victorian Flatbush listings under PS Vicinity, too, but I think those houses are honorary brownstones in the eyes of realtors and Manhattan price refugees. But the “vicinity” now certainly goes as far as your neck o the woods, Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy and, increasingly, Sunset Park. It’s really shorthand for neighborhoods and housing stock that yuppies will consider (outside Brooklyn Heights vicinity, of course).
What about zipcode? 11215. Doesn’t that help decipher the neighborhood border? 11215 goes to 3rd avenue and to Prospect Expressway. And why exaclty are you all so concerned about the borders anyway?
