Ditmas Park

Ditmas Park is one of three Flatbush neighborhoods which has been officially designated a Historic District. A quiet residential community located on land that remained rural until the early twentieth century, it is a suburban-like housing development consisting of large, free-standing homes built in the first decade of the twentieth century. The Ditmas Park association, founded in 1908, is still active today.

Strolling through the tree-lined streets, it’s obvious that the residents take pride in maintaining the integrity of their historic homes, and that many are avid garndeners. Ditmas Park is a friendly place, boasting an active homeowner association which hosts social events, publishes a newsletter and a home improvement directory, and works on numerous civic issues, often jointly with it sister neighborhoods and the Flatbush Development Corporation.

For more information about the neighborhood today, please call the Ditmas Park Association President, Monica MacAdams at 718.287.2202 or Marion Lipton, 718.941.9881.
