(Neighborhoods In Brooklyn)

South Park Slope, Brooklyn is a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. It is sandwiched between Greenwood Heights and Park Slope, bordered by 15th Street to the north, the Prospect Expressway to the south, Fourth Avenue to the west, and Prospect Park West and Green-Wood Cemetery to the east. While the name “south Slope” has been used for many years, the area was officially designated “South Park Slope” when it was rezoned by the New York City Department of City Planning in 2005. It is primarily made up of pre-war row houses, although there has been a spate of new, non-contextual construction in recent years predominately in the inner blocks with higher density development along 4th Avenue due to the 2005 R8A zoning designation.

South Park Slope is a part of Brooklyn Community Board 7 along with Greenwood Heights, Windsor Terrace and Sunset Park.
