What You Need to Know as a Prospect Heights Brownstone Buyer
Prospect Heights buyers are typically coming from Park Slope comparisons — they've looked at what's available in Park Slope, recognized the price premium, and identified Prospect Heights as offering similar architecture, location quality, and cultural institutions at lower prices.
