Developed more than 100 years ago to be a piece of suburban living just minutes from Manhattan, Victorian Flatbush maintains that special atmosphere today — right in the heart of Brooklyn. Stroll the streets of this spectacular neighborhood, home to four NYC Historic Districts, and tour interiors of 12 stunning homes, each lovingly preserved and restored.

This special tour is self-guided so you get to go at your own pace. Walk the entire tour route, or hop on the convenient shuttle bus traveling the route. When you pick up your tickets, you'll also receive a rich, detailed tour guidebook and map with descriptions of the homes on the tour and the neighborhood. You'll learn the history of the houses, the agony of the various restorations and the satisfaction gained from preserving a piece of history a little bit at a time.

As you stroll the streets of this hidden gem of a neighborhood... deep in the heart of Brooklyn... you will discover a place unlike any other in all of New York City.
