Our Take
11234 is a classic Brooklyn Heights enclave—affluent, well‑connected, and close to Manhattan, making it a solid choice for many families and remote workers. Prices are high but the neighborhood offers great schools, parks, and a vibrant dining scene. Just be prepared for the steep cost of living and limited parking.
