re the stats above, it comes out to ~134%. does the census form allow selecting multiple options, i.e. im white and hispanic, or is something askew? (i’ve never filled one)
either way, sunset is a pretty cool neighborhood, just not below 4th ave.
Rebirth “Brooklyn’s Little Mexico”
Sunset Park’s second age began with a wave of immigration from Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, as well as other Latin American countries. By 1990, Hispanics comprised 50% of Sunset Park’s population, rehabilitating property values and developing a thriving community. Along 5th Avenue there is an abundance of Mexican restaurants and businesses. Sunset Park, unlike other Hispanic neighborhoods in NYC has a very strong Mexican population.
Roughly 42.6% of residents are Hispanic or Latino, 36.2% were “white”, Caucasian/Arab, 29% were Asian (mostly Chinese), 3.2% were “black” or African American, and 24.7% were “some other race”.
Anywhere above 4th Ave and I’d be into that 8th St. house – sorry to say, below 4th Ave. is a deal-breaker (not to mention NOT Park Slope).

it wasn’t just Mexican, I saw Cuban restaurants and Ecuadorian shops and many other nationalities. In fact, I didn’t see any Mexican businesses, but i guess it is a block by block thing.
It is a perfectly nice neighborhood but a little depressed I’ld say. I would hate to be the big show-off gringa on the block. But the highway there is pretty bad. I mean on that block.
Saw the “Kensington” house last week. Needs a bundle of TLC and a major price cut. The PS house looks like a flip job and likewise needs a MAJOR cut. It doesn’t matter what you call it, that industrial zone, outside the PS321 area, and stuck among vacant lots and two highways, ain’t gonna grab 1.2.
Sunset Park house is between 3rd and 4th Avenues.
We looked at a house not too far away from this one about a year ago and passed because it was on a block with heavy drug activity.
Yes, Sunset Park is heavily Mexican, thus all the terrific Mexican Restaurants there. It also has a very thriving Chinatown and a significant and growing artist population.
Great area.
The Sunset Park house looks like it is close to the elevated highway, which is pretty loud and awful.
I was in that neighborhood recently. It looked like it was mostly Latino, judging from the store signs and pedestrians on fifth AVnue. This block is probably a mix of residential and light industrial.
> “is a block between 4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue really considered Park Slope?”
By realtors, sure. Everyone else, not so much.
