The vast majority of this neighborhood was originally farmland and estates for the wealthy. This pattern remained consistent, even producing one of the oldest houses in NYC, the Hendrick I. Lott House.
The land wasn’t intensively developed until the early 1900’s, when Coney Island became a major destination. Though Gravesend and Sheepshead Bay were popular tourist destinations before then, Southeastern Brooklyn remained largely rural, save for the large houses along the water.
The mid 1900’s were when a building boom took place. People were seeking more affordable housing and the undeveloped land in the area provided the perfect spot. Homes popped up quickly and the NYC elite soon bought houses here for the exclusion. Today, Southeastern Brooklyn is a mix of middle and upper class residents who love peace and quiet.
