291 Rockaway Pkwy

Anchored by Brownsville and parts of Ocean Hill in eastern Brooklyn, 11212 offers a close-knit community vibe with walkable streets, stoop culture, and four true seasons—warm, humid summers and brisk winters. Daily life centers on Pitkin Avenue’s small businesses, Caribbean and soul food spots, bodegas, and beauty salons, while Betsy Head Park (with its renovated pool, fields, and courts) and the Brownsville Recreation Center provide active outlets for families and fitness-minded residents. You’ll find local bakeries, juice bars, and casual eateries, plus convenient groceries like neighborhood markets and Key Food–style supermarkets. The 3 train along Livonia Avenue, a free transfer to the L at Junius/Livonia, and multiple bus lines make commuting straightforward. Street art, community gardens, block parties, and rec leagues speak to the neighborhood’s pride and cultural roots. According to Zillow’s Rental Manager market trends in recent months, the median asking rent has hovered in the low $2,000s, with typical listings ranging roughly from the upper $1,800s to the high $2,800s, depending on size and finish.
