As Prospect Heights’ hipness quotient has risen in the last few years, realtors have done what they do and attempted to expand its borders. madman recently started a thread called “Border Wars” citing a “NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission that seems to implicate Flatbush and Washington Aves as the Western and Eastern borders of Prospect Heights.” There hasn’t been too much dispute about those being the borders in the discussion that followed.
Carnivore pointed out: “I think the mods are all in agreement that Washington is the border, as are most people who don’t have a vested interest.“
What are borders good for anyways? Does the character of the neighborhood really change just past Washington? A few posters list some of the harmful effects of fudging borders in the thread. I suggest you stop by and read them before deciding to check out a great apt. deal on Franklin Ave. in the heart of Prospect Heights. Prospect Heights Message Board – Border Wars :: Brooklynian.com
