See eye-catching homes on the perimeter of Green-Wood Cemetery
Take this virtual tour while you’re staying home because of the coronavirus pandemic
Eye on Real Estate: Brooklyn residents are going to Green-Wood Cemetery to take walks in its wide-open spaces during New York’s novel coronavirus lockdown. The graveyard is an excellent alternative to parks, where some people have been congregating in groups instead of practicing social distancing.
As visitors head toward the famous 478-acre cemetery’s main entrance on Fifth Avenue at 25th Street, they get an eyeful of industrial buildings and construction sites. They may not realize the neighborhoods surrounding it are full of beautiful housing stock — and there’s a transit depot named for an old-school Brooklyn TV star.
Here’s a look at some of the eye-catching homes on these peaceful blocks. If you don’t live within walking or biking distance of this area, and therefore won’t be visiting it for the foreseeable future, this story can serve as a virtual tour for you.
