Neighborhoods

Reemerging from a century of obscurity, Weeksville had been absorbed by Crown Heights until 1968 when a research project discovered the old village that is steeped in civil rights history.

Bounded by Bedford-Stuyvesant to the north, Brownsville to the east and south and Crown Heights to the west, Weeksville offers an affordable mix of renovated apartments, newly constructed condos and single-family homes. Strolling the streets you’ll discover intimate dining options and unique shops that give this neighborhood a homey closeness.

A must see is the Weeksville Heritage Center which displays the area’s 19^th century African American community in Brooklyn and is adjacent to the historic Hunterfly Road Houses that survived from the 1800s.
