Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Established in the 1830s, Brooklyn, New York's Cypress Hills neighborhood features a diverse population and entrance to the world-famous Cypress Hills Cemetery. The final resting place for famed actress Mae West and record-breaking baseball player Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers, most of the cemetery lies in Queens, New York, which borders the northeast Brooklyn community. More than a dozen mass transit bus lines pass through this revitalized neighborhood, making its houses and condos for rent convenient for travel to midtown Manhattan, about 11 miles away.
Angela's Pizzeria, a family-owned tradition in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, keeps locals happy with its crispy slices and robust calzones. Rico Pollo II delights its neighbors with well-seasoned rotisserie chicken and other Dominican and Latin American dishes. The decor, atmosphere, and Caribbean and Latin influences at Carro Cafe draw locals who enjoy meals, drinks, such as coconut mojitos, and nightlife at the venue. Locals gather, stroll, and celebrate the outdoors at Highland Park on Jackie Robinson Parkway and work out at the YMCA a few blocks away.

The streets are covered in litter and garbage. Many lines of transportation are nearby. Convenient shops, bodegas, and groceries within reach. Schools are kinda iffy but there are several in the area.

Cypress hills is a quiet place to live if you're on the right path in my life and has a lot of diversity but not many job opportunities and moderately affordable. From the few programs it offers they are good and there's many parks and but few places to go out and eat and have drinks.

I like the overall vibe of the neighborhood and its easy access to groceries, subway, laundromat and supermarkets. I think what needs to improve is that sometimes it gets loud at night because people play music late at night.

My home with an amazing community and amazing Local Development Corporation that is ALWAYS giving back. Yes, the neighborhood can be a little sketchy but the people here have big hearts.
