their a way bettter looking stations than avenue H.
YOU'RE LATE...a.lot of Brooklyn looks like that...where it matters that is.
I grew up right by the Ave H station. It was not a “rich” neighborhood in the 80s/90s. Regular middle class families, my parents were teachers. Now the houses are worth a lot more but a lot of the owners have been there for 30-40 years.
Ave H station was a drug den back in the 90s. Certainly did not look like that. Got mugged 3 times in that tunnel.
Absolutely right. Funny but the last time I checked they were calling this Victorian Flatbush/Midwood but it's technically Flatbush. I've lived there for years and now that Brooklyn is so hot the developers are changing the names of the neighborhoods. The average cost is 1.6 million now but many of those are 1 family homes so they're not economically sound for what you can get a multi family for.
I grew up there too and never felt safe around Ave H station. It's interesting how these channels glamorize these areas. I never heard it being called Fiske Terrace.
They renovated everything. The station was recently redone. If u walk thru now, u'll c multiple home renovations going on.
I grew up in the NYC and never heard of this neighborhood until I checked the comments for the insider info 😅 Yep, they're killing me with all the name changes...thanks for the clarification.
Us old Brooklyn heads should have reminded ya'll what we already knew. Try one block over, on Glenwood Road, and around Brooklyn College, as well. Peace.
That's my area although I'm on the Flatbush side. I spend a lot of my time near Glenwood
Went to Midwood and know that Ave H. Halloween had the roughest egg fights back in the 80-90s
Some parts of Bay Ridge look really suburban too. Beautiful big old houses
Yup. I graduated from Brooklyn College. The homes in that area are amazing.
An we call that side midwood
Fiske Terrace looks like the Forest Hills Gardens of Brooklyn to me. At the end of the day, you have a short walk to the subway and a short commute to a major part of Manhattan. If I hop on at 71st ave, I'm at Times Square in 20 minutes, and at Avenue Q, it would probably take 20 minutes to get to Chinatown. Neighborhoods like this are what impress me the most about NYC. The clash of the city and the suburbs. They're absolutely gorgeous
Well said Ian
@@HereBeBarr hey guys try to explore …Mill Basin in Brooklyn not the Old Mill Basin but the one that says without Old so just Mill Basin specially Mayfair Dr and Whitman Dr and the other Streets that are Dr , too =) or just explore that whole neighborhood and tell us what you all think. 😉 I think there might be houses even more expensive than in Fiske Terrace! 😏 …Old Mill Basin might be interesting too… and check out Jamaica States and Jamaica Hills Neighborhoods!! Or the few Mansions on Shore Road in Bayridge Brooklyn!! Including one of the most expensive houses in Brooklyn.
@@mazusub8182 I'm actually a Mill Basin native. My Nana lived there since 1965 before I lost her a year and a half ago. My aunt and uncle still live there though. That's the part of Brooklyn I was in untul I moved to central Queens before elementary school
@@tips4tourists790 yes right
This is my neighborhood and I’m obsessed with it. Super quiet, super clean, super colorful. The summer walks through the neighborhood are the best. Every time a friend visits they think we’re in a suburb of Brooklyn!
You should've went over to Cortelyou and Marlborough. The houses in that area are beautiful as well.
Yes they are I use to live over there
I live in this neighborhood and if you’re interested you have to come visit in the spring or summer, then you see the beauty of the tree lined streets and well kept lawns and gardens. If you keep walking north towards prospect park you’ll see more houses and blocks like these, where you feel like you’re in the suburbs or in some other state.
Yeah I want to go back soon
I live in Midwood Brooklyn! Avenue M/E 19th street on the Q line… very quiet and peaceful area. And the Victorian homes don’t hurt!
Been going up and down these streets since childhood. Been 16 years, and I haven't really realized how special it is. (Compared to other areas in Brooklyn)
I'm in Flatbush and love walking the neighborhoods
I’m still wondering what that pumpkin was made of 😅 It was awesome hanging out, thanks for having me along!
Any time!
@ActionKid 😄 glad you didn't try to see if nyc seagulls would go for that awesome looking pizza 😋
My daughter and I went to New York in August of 2021 and drove thru this neighborhood and felt just like home, we are from Chicago and we have a lot of neighborhoods that look just like this one
Parts of St Louis are very similar too.
wow that sounds amazing
The neighborhood is amazing. I bet it looks even more beautiful during Halloween and Christmas with all the decorations are set up for both holidays.
Nope. These houses rarely ever put up decorations. Very few of them do.
(I live on Ave H)
@@simplyames4969 yeah that's more of a Dyker Heights thing
They don't celebrate Christmas
It’s does all houses decorate 😍
It doesn’t trust me
I never seen and heard about this neighborhood before but I love the historic houses and the pizza looks delicious as well! Great video! You both have done a great job plus the camera man as well!
The rocking chairs and that subway station are anomalies in NYC. The scene looks like it belongs on a stop for Amtrak.
Thanks Jon for making this video. That pizza looks so good. My list for sites to see in NYC just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
One of Brooklyn's best kept secrets. The closest nightlife scene, though, is Cortelyou Rd, which is two subway stops away Manhattan bound on the H train. Getting to lower Manhattan is about half an hour, and getting to more happening parts of Brooklyn takes even longer. But Midwood is a fantastic area. Great find, guys!
Exactly use to live there and the houses on courletyou are literally mansions. It was too much to live there but this comment is understated hope they go soon
I live there..on the block of the train station..And I kid you not, this video did do it hustice...And when it snows the sight of the streets is breath taking..It's a little nook away from the congestion, hustle and bustle of Brooklyn. During the summer It's sooooo beautiful and very quite...I totally love it..❤
This is what my neighborhood in Rochester looks like. It is called the ABC Street Neighborhood because all the side streets are in alphabetical order. The trees in between the street and sidewalk belong to the city. I love these type of neighborhoods.
Such a cool place to visit and with the best TH-camrs , thank you guys ❤️❤️❤️
Cool video, glad to see both ActionKid and yourself together vibing in the City. Brooklyn Heights 'America's 1st Suburb' may feel left out but good to see Fiske Terrace get love.
Good to see new people coming to the neighborhood we own Orquidea deli 1:24
Next time stop by brother so you can taste the food
🙏🏻
Perfect for me! I loved this one. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome info. Thanks for this!
The pizza looks really good. Always good to see Here We Barr with Action Kidd. Great video as always
And Ben.
Learned more about Brooklyn,you guys..Great trip~Thanks!
Despite having ridden the Q train every weekday for two years, I was not aware of the Ave H station nor was I familiar with Fiske Terrace. I did know about Midwood Park and Midwood in general which is made up of a pristine Orthodox section of mostly SFH and a bustling commercial corridor Kings Highway.
I have been riding the Q for decades and never ave h is the wealthiest ?!
Fiske terrace never heard of it. I thought wealthiest would be on the F line like 15 Street prospect 7th Ave F line. Park slope.
I'm so happy someone made a video. My old neighborhood is absolutely beautiful.
Moving to this neighborhood made me feel in love with Brooklyn, it's been 4years and I have no intentions of moving anytime soon, it's awesome, so peaceful
Always nice to see Action Kidd with Here We Barr. Good video it looks a bit like New Orleans. Pizza looks really nice
Wow, this is all very interesting! Incredible neighborhood, really... This was very informative; loved it so much!! Cheers from Lisbon, Portugal ;)
Love these exploring new and hidden neighbourhood videos! NYC is just so never-ending interesting!
Very true...!!! The city is amazing...!!! Actually... every one of the 5 boroughs of New York City has impressive, suburban-type residential neighborhoods such as this...!!! I speak from experience...!!! 👍 👏 🏆
I grew up on 23rd and K and the area was middle class. Very down to Earth. We went trick or treat around our blocks. DiFara was my go-to pizza place. RIP DOM!!
These are my 2 favorite NYC tour guide TH-camrs, in one video!!!
Oh my lord. I love those houses frankly I love the whole area including the train station.
Unrelated to this video I wanted to thank you so much for your advice, knowledge and guidance about visiting new york. My wife and I visited for 5 days from 11th of February 2022 and had thee most fantastic amazing mini holiday break that we could have wished for. New York is a place of magic, wonder and pleasure surpassed by none. we have fallen head over heals in love with this place and we wanted to thank you for yours and Sarah funk. Travelling clat, action kid, and many more for your great content helping people like us enjoy wonderful culture's like new york and beyond. ... thankyou 👍🥂
Great video...!!! It's also true that every one of the 5 boroughs of New York City has impressive, suburban-type residential neighborhoods such as this...!!! I speak from experience...!!! 👍 👏 🏆
Such an oasis. And a step back into simpler times. 👍 Thx
Thank you for sharing.
Hey guys it’s nice to see that area. Also great to see Jon and Ken together!
Beautiful, reminded me of Tottenville Staten Island. Nice to see AK finally tasted DiFara and gave his thoughts.
haha yep
I love in Brooklyn, and this is wonderful to see! I will drive by that area soon.
As someone that went to and worked at Brooklyn College getting off at Ave H and walking through Fiske Terrace/Midwood was a daily thing for me.
Love your vids thank you!
Omg i totally forgot about Fiske Terrace, i haven’t been there in ages. awesome video Jon.
Great coverage, fellas !
Really cool when u met up with action kid! I’ve never heard of this neighborhood in Brooklyn
Hi there! I liked to see Actionkid in this video! I follow both of you.... a great neighborhood and video!! Greetings from Central America.
Its so beautiful thank u for sharing.
I'm in brooklyn and had no idea that neighborhood is here. Thank you for showing the beautiful homes
These houses remind me of a house my family owned on Long Island. It was very old and the earliest records of it that we could find went back to 1903. We believed it was older than that though, it had hand hewn beams with arrows and notches carved into them, as well as knob & tube wiring and plaster walls & ceilings. It also had a 3 carriage barn in the back yard with stalls for horses and accommodations for a stable boy upstairs. FLY NAVY!!!
Great job. I live in a circa 1876 Victorian house in Philadelphia near Drexel U. It’s also a quiet pocket of the city.
Enjoyed seeing that station, very cool history.
Loved the station and rocking chairs locked down brilliant 👍
I had no idea about this! I’ll definitely have to go check it out soon. 🤩
Great video. Would love you to check out Gravesend and Dyker Heights in southern Brooklyn.
Off the beaten path - Nice! 👍👍 Should also do Ditmas Park! I’d say Ditmas park probably where can find most interesting houses in the whole city!
Great suggestion!
This is Ditmas Park
@@iamzyire Good to know. I know it’s in the area since saw Midwood but I remember seeing houses even more detailed and more standout hence thought this was next door.
Buckingham Road aka 17th street by Albemarle has some cool houses. One looks like a Japanese pagoda
@@jesusisking117 Yes! So I do remember correctly like this one. Thanks!
Loved this
I'm soooooo glad/happy someone did a video of this name. It's in my backyard and I have been there and must say I was completely blown away, I didn't even know the name was Fiske Terrace . . . . the houses there are Huuge! . . . . there's even one that looks as grand as The White House (it's closer to Church Ave). Such a Awesome & Beautiful neighborhood and I hope the greedy developers STAY AWAY.
The houses on Albemarle Road look like plantation houses
Yes! I've seen the one that looks like the White House! It's hidden in the back there. It's always been our little secret here in Flatbush!
I lived in the Midwood neighborhood in my early childhood back in the mid 50s through the mid 60s. I went to PS 152 right next to Brooklyn college. We lived in an apartment on Ocean Ave. but I can remember a friend who lived in one of those old Victorian homes only a few blacks away from our apartment....it's been so many years since I've been in Brooklyn!
My favorite parts of New York City are the ones that look nothing like what people imagine New York City looks like. I hadn't heard of Fiske Terrace. I'll have to check it out this summer!
Great video and take on this " discovery"!
Jon
Cool video. I go past Ave H every time when I go to work in Park Slope
I know about that freight spur that Governor Hochul was talking about
You and Actionkid pull some great videos
But you should know that Brooklyn College is about 10 minute walk from Ave H and it has a beautiful campus.
yeah we saw it on the way!
I've heard cause I don't live far from there! So beautiful, i love just walking around on Sunday, there's a farmers market on cortelyou road and then walking a couple of block you are in that neighborhood. 👍
This is like prospect park south! Gorgeous home that makes you fell like you fell through a time warp!
These homes are super stunning! Can't wait for outdoor opera concerts in the neighborhood in the summer
Can't wait!
Used to live near this neighborhood. It’s a great place to walk around.
I LOVED YOUR VIDEO!!!!!
Been to Di Fara several times, i would say is in the top 3. That made me hungry, maybe will go there tonight.
Beautiful neighborhood. Reminds me of the Pelham gardens section of the Bronx. Super lush and elegant homes/mansions.
I love working in that neighborhood. So nice to look at the houses.
I live not far from Fiske Terrace and Ave H train station was redone not too long ago. Also Newkirk Plaza train station is close by and people walk there to catch the express train
Visited the neighborhood on quite a few occasions. Unfortunately I never noticed how intriguing this neighborhood is. Will pay closer attention on my next visit to see my landlord😄
I am so glad the difara still alive
He retired but his kids manage the spot. And there is a pastry shop around the corner too
Yes great video !! I am from Brooklyn orig originally but because it’s too long trek with the train and far hidden , I don’t get to come at all !!! 🙏☮️☯️🌹🧿
In Manhattan, W. 69th St. Between Broadway and Central Park West, is the place to take kids trick or treating : ) The street is blocked off, and even adults come costumed. St Stephens church often has refreshments, and there are designated brownstones with treats and scary decorations.
Thanks john and AK
My biggest pet peeve is a pumpkin sitting next to a santa on the porch ....please throw the pumpkin away before you put christmas decor out, lol!
Wow! This reminds me SO much of, like, Yonkers …or maybe some of the nicer old communities in northern Westchester
Yes, the Park Hill neighborhood off of Rumsey Road in Yonkers has historic Victorians. The west side there was bustling area in the 1800s. Lots of NYC cops lived there, a few paved roads, lots of farmland
In the late 80's i used to go to brooklyn college to see the jamaican pantomine show and i woud driver thru this neighborhood in amazement like "this is brooklyn?" Parts of Canarsie are like the suburbs also.
I have to check out this neighborhood when I go back home. I thought this neighborhood was Edge Water NJ. I recently saw this neighborhood in a film called Manhattan Night with Adrien Brody.
Cypress Hills (Highland Park) in North East Brooklyn, you can see houses like this also. Just a block up from the J train stations, Alabama ave- Cleveland St
The houses on Beverly road west of the Beverly Road Q train station in Brooklyn are way better! Specifically when you walk down on Albemarle Road. In fact there is a known Colonial style home that is "haunted" located right on the corner of Albemarle RD & Argyle Rd. You can't miss the big columns built on the front of the home. That building had a dark history and the neighbors described the owner as being strange. The house from the side resembles the famous Amityville home, however, it's the other attic window to the left that is shaped like a human "eye" that everyone from the neighborhood talks about. I haven't been there since 2018 but at the time the building was in serious need of repair due to neglect. You should do a video on this once beautiful landmark!
ya and the last owner always had a big box truck on the driveway. Yet never worked on his own house. Was like that even back in the 90s. Maybe he was in the landscaping business or something.
Yes I've walked by there!
Midwood
They've redone the entire house. It's gorgeous
@@jesusisking117 that's good news ❤️
Good Saturday Evening Jon
After These Home's Was Built They Were $ 85,0000 In The Day
That's A Beautiful Neighborhood In Brooklyn Thank You So Much For Sharing This Extraordinary Video Much Love Always Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida Blessings
Thanks for the info
@@HereBeBarr It's Always A Pleasure
Beautiful been to Ave H station and to this neighborhood..
Huge houses with huge taxes. Houses are close together. Immaculate area.
Brooklyn has interesting areas including Garrison Beach.
Thumbs up.
Fun joint video!
Gerritsen beach not Garritsen
Actually one of the reasons the prices are high is because their property taxes are pretty low. NYC house taxes in general is probably close to 1/2 of what they would be for an equivalent-priced home in surrounding states.
I've used to lived in the area by Avenue H for a decade and loved living there nice and peaceful nice people too missed living there 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😥😥
Love this miss my old hood. Really do 😢
Beautiful area. Can we get a chance to visit one of these amazing houses? Thank you for sharing. Keep on going. 👍 👍
Avenue J and Kings Highway.They were two lovely shopping streets.
I grew up few blocks away and did my trick or treating here every year lol. Decent hauls there
I’m glad NYC still have some nice places
I Love It !
My husband and I watched you recording around the neighborhood:) I’m glad you loved it 🥰
Well I grew up on East 24th Street between Foster and Farragut gorgeous houses best I wish I could go back in time those were the days
YES. Okay I always thought it was just me with that feeling from looking at a lot of North American Victorian homes. I'm from Montreal where our victorian architecture was a little more stone oriented and grand, but I lived in Toronto for a while and the city is famous for its Bay and Gable Victorian homes in the inner city. A lot of them are beautiful, but others, even some of the massive wealthy ones, gave me the MAJOR creeps and always have and I never knew why lol.
Oh wow looks awesome 😮😮😮
One time when we were walking all around NYC we happened upon this really nice neighborhood with really nice houses, I think it was when we went to the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park Queens, is there a nice neighborhood with nice houses in that area
Albemarle Rd in Brooklyn is just South of Prospect Park has homes with similar architecture and size. The neighborhood is beautiful and you're 15 minute walk from Prospect Park.
That’s my old neighborhood…. 2 blocks over is Newkirk ave and in the 90s, it was crazy
We call it Midwood, in Brooklyn an it's a nice neighborhood I live with in 5 minutes walking distance from it , an his has a mixture of people there
I grew up on East 17 and Beverly Rd... I used to walk all around there lived on 17 since 1994
