    Living in Highland Park

    The neighborhood takes its name from Highland Park itself, a hilly green space straddling the Brooklyn-Queens border that includes the former Ridgewood Reservoir — now a naturalized wetland and bird habitat — plus ballfields and trails. Streets here are quieter and more residential than nearby East New York, with a strong immigrant and working-class character and blocks of attached homes.

    Housing is dominated by two- and three-family row houses and wood-frame homes, many with front stoops and small yards, offering rental income potential for owner-occupants. The J and Z trains along Jamaica Avenue and the C train at nearby stations connect the area to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, though commutes run longer than from central Brooklyn.
