Situated in the southwest corner of the bustling borough of Brooklyn in New York City, Dyker Heights is an affluent urban neighborhood that stands out from the rest. Though it’s considered an urban neighborhood, Dyker Heights’ variety of apartments, townhomes, and detached houses for rent give it a somewhat suburban feel, considering more urban neighborhoods in NYC lack detached homes.
Mature trees, community parks, and a family-friendly atmosphere add to the laid-back culture of this neighborhood. As a community-focused area, residents feel safe in their homes and appreciate the walkability of the neighborhood.
With nearby subway and bus stations, as well as proximity to major interstates, Dyker Heights is a great place to live for convenience and commuting purposes. Enjoy athletic fields, tennis courts, open green space, and walking trails at McKinley Park, or visit the popular Dyker Beach Golf Course to practice your swing. This sprawling course lies in the south end of town overlooking Gravesend Bay.
Dyker Heights boasts various retailers and restaurants, but if you’re looking for a greater variety, visit one of the numerous nearby areas. Just take Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to reach Staten Island, or travel northeast about eight miles to reach Downtown Brooklyn, and another six miles northeast to access Midtown Manhattan!

Dyker Heights is a good neighborhood to grow up in, and it has good public schools nearby. It's relatively safe, and a lot of surrounding stores and places to explore.

Some avenues are really nice, other blocks not so much. A lot of Italians. Neighbors are also not the friendliest but it's Brooklyn, what do you expect?

It is a quite and friendly neighborhood. It is a green neighborhood with diverse people. I have lived here for 7 years. It has good food from different part of the world. It offers facilities for elder people( such as nursing home, activity clubs). It suits the need for people in different ages. I usually pick up flowers from stores around my house. I love its convenience.
