Right at Grant Square, on Dean Street
If you know Crown Heights North, you likely know Grant Square, the intersection of Bedford Avenue at Dean and Bergen Streets, and that’s the same street our building sits on. Walk from Grant Square or from Brower Park, which shares a superblock with the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and P.S. 289, and you’re minutes from our door. Crown Heights North falls inside Brooklyn Community Board 8 and includes the Crown Heights North Historic District, bounded roughly by Atlantic Avenue, Eastern Parkway, Bedford Avenue and Albany Avenue.
This is also Weeksville, the area running from Troy Avenue to Ralph Avenue, named for the free Black settlement founded here in 1838, one of the first free Black communities in the United States, and a piece of history the Weeksville Heritage Center preserves today. We say this with the weight it deserves: this is a neighborhood with a real, specific history, not a backdrop. The blocks around Dean Street have been home to generations of Black and Caribbean families, and the historic district’s landmarked rowhouses stand alongside newer construction in a way that makes the neighborhood’s layered history genuinely visible if you know where to look.

Family Life in Crown
Heights North
Families in Crown Heights North have easy access to some of Brooklyn’s best free family resources: Brower Park for outdoor play, the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. The first children’s museum in the country, founded in 1899, for rainy days, and the Brower Park branch of the Brooklyn Public Library right on the same superblock. It’s a genuinely walkable stretch of the neighborhood for a family with a stroller or a toddler on foot, and one where a daycare that’s actually embedded in the blocks around it, rather than commuted into, makes a real difference.
