The population is typically young professionals attracted by the proximity to Manhattan and the low cost of housing. The commercial districts lie along 7th Avenue and on 5th Avenue, especially south of 9th Street. Experts agree that the defining moment here was 1995, when most of the wonderful Victorian and Romanesque Revival brownstones went over the million dollar mark - and what used to be considered a terrific area for middle-income families nowadays seems more fitting for Wall Street types. Seventh Avenue was once the outermost border of desirable Park Slope, but of late the boundary has reached Fifth.

WINDSOR TERRACE, BROOKLYN - REAL ESTATE

Windsor Terrace until somewhat recently - was a hidden treasure well protected by its residents from the outside world. Today, the Brooklyn neighborhood is a mix of friendly, community-minded people - and favored as an ideal place to live and raise a family. Its quiet streets are well isolated from outside traffic and the schools are among the borough's highest rated. With an abundance of limestones and brownstones and its long border with Prospect Park, Windsor Terrace bears a striking resemblance to its more fêted neighbor -- but the real estate is a lot more affordable. But given the above, the homes here are traditionally handed down through the generations, making it difficult for newcomers.
