Ditmas Park West

At the turn of the twentieth century, this entire area was still part of a large tract of farmland, which had belonged for generations to the Ditmas family. This community has many lovely Victorian Homes with special distinctions that are unique to Flatbush – exposed tiger oak walls, fireplaces, tree-lined streets and the close feeling of neighbors caring about each other.

Residents of Ditmas Park West take special pride in caring for their trees. On the day of the Flatbush House Tour, you’ll notice them planting trees as they celebrate Arbor Day and honor the towering 80 year old maples, elms and London planes of this area.

For information about the neighborhood today, please contact the Ditmas Park West Association President, Gary Sucher, 718.941.8947.
