Brandon, as much as I know about the city, you're showing me so many areas that I never knew about. I can't believe how suburban some areas are of Brooklyn. It could be an area in Suffolk county! I have to say again how cool it would be to live in an old Victorian mansion in the heart of Brooklyn. I'd love to just have an apartment in one of these great old houses.
I've been living in this neighborhood for 4 years now. Moved here in 2019 from Sheepshead Bay where I grew up. The one thing I find ironic is how it seems everyone on the Internet is talking about the Kensington in Philadelphia and how depressing and sad it is, while the Kensington here in Brooklyn is beautiful and has almost no homeless people or drug addicts. It's like I'm living in a parallel universe or something.
My family owned the 84 Prospect park sw as well as the Mallet home a few doors down I grew up in that awesome house with the best memories , La Famina, Somma, Mallet, De Luca are all my relatives , thank you for this video it brought back such good memories ,
Absolutely beautiful! I do love the very tall trees. They almost remind me of palm trees in those affluent neighborhoods. Good video! Keep it up Mooney!💜
For meg, som bor i Norge 🇳🇴og aldri har vært utenfor Europa 🇪🇺er det «ubetalelig» å følge dine «dokumentarer» rundt i 🇺🇸U.S (New York) og for det sier jeg ‘ tusen hjertelig takk’🙏🏻
Just discovered your channel. Just love it! Your narration is very interesting. I feel Iike I'm sitting in the passenger's seat when your are talking. Great voice too!
This area is just south of prospect avenue/caton avenue. Beverly rd cuts through it. I wandered around this neighborhood in 1994/1995. This neighborhood, along with jamaica estates, beechhurst/malba, north riverdale are enclave areas that were developed within the city of new york but with an open lush green atmosphere for well to do people who wanted to get out of the bustle but also didnt want that long commute say from upper westchester, nassau county, etc. Even areas like little neck, bay terrace, douglastan, glen oaks, at that time were considered too far away.
Love your content. I've live in Brooklyn 30 years and learn something new with each video. You mention Prospect Park, did you know it was designed by the same guy who designed Central Park? Frederick Law Olmsted is his name.
Love ur videos. I would just add you mention the st ur on and the st ur Turing onto, also the address of the highlighted property so we can google earth it and check it out as well.
I've been through another neighborhood in Brooklyn with some large, distinctive homes once when I took the bus from South Williamsburg to JFK, but I can't remember where it was...the houses weren't kept nearly as nice though. I've been trying to find it in Google maps, but no success yet.
I just discovered your channel with the tour of Roy Demayo's house It's great to see this part of Brooklyn. I knew it was big, but didn't know how big! How big is all of Brooklyn anyways? 🤔
Brooklyn is 71 square miles ---- There was a time it was an independent city before becoming one of New York City's 5 boroughs. If it were still an independent city today, it would be the fourth most populous in the U.S. after the rest of New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Named after the Dutch town of Breukelen in the Netherlands, Brooklyn shares a border with the borough of Queens which, as someone above has already stated, is larger size-wise than Brooklyn but contains less people.
I lived off the parade grounds ( softball leagues fields) and Church ave, 40 Years ago, you had to stay inside after dark, Very bad at Night, you could hear blood curdling screams, coming from the park direction, also if you went to “Park Circle” off Coney Island ave, there was a Skating ring there that was really old school I think early 1900 or late 1800’s, I skated there when I was around 10 years old, on the street and right behind was a horseback riding stable, we go there after skating 👍
I work with many Muslim Americans, idk that that's what those folks were but I used to deal with that daily in the changing room at my job, after there prayer was over back to normal and they used to cut their prayer mats out of card board boxes and it was your job as a friend to make sure no cleaning crews or anyone disturbed their prayer mats. I've had so many friends come and go but 10 years later those African Americans are the ones that go out of their way to check on me and it's an unbelievable bond those guys will solidify with you if you except them. Honestly some of the greatest people I know.
I grew up in park south. First on Westminster zroad And then we went to an Albermsrl Road house wher we stayed. We also hsd sn Apartment at 71 St near Madison Ave inanhattan. This was the mid 1940's to mid 1960's when the hand. writing was on the wall as to who and what was going to control the area north of our wonderful home. It was sad leaving. Our family had dimished so ee took a place midway between our Apt in Manhattan and Park South. Brooklyn Heights. Where members of my family have been for 100 yesrs.....But PS in its day was amazing. And people say its coming back...just dont make eye contact with the types on Church Ave or across Ocean Ave...
Brooklyn's old money enclave. I wonder if the architect designed every house to be unique. That would be pretty mindblowing although it was probably commonplace back then.
Albemarle really doesn't have people hanging out there like a park, but u sure do see alot of dog walkers and bike riders. It's just maintained so well and designed beautifully.
This is one of the prettiest neighborhoods I’ve ever seen. Even the apartments are grand. My friend grew up in a Pre WWII off of Albermarle Rd. 3 bedrooms, huge sunken living room, eat in kitchen, multiple bathrooms!
Wow! that house was really lovely...well worth the tour. Keep up the good work, and mind the Red Lights! ;) Research an area called Riverdale, it's in the Bronx, another hidden gem.
I followed you on Instagram. I have just finished an audiobook about Tommy Pitera, scary guy and his private burial ground at the William T. Davis Wildlife Refuge.
I’m not sure if you went to The upper Eastside in Manhattan but I would definitely love to see you go and learn a few things, If not can you do the very nice part of Howard beach and maybe you can show us John Gotti‘s old house, I’ve been trying to find it and I don’t know what house it is
Cant be suburbs without a driveway lol besides that this really reminds me of where I'm from, New Hartford Ny. I actually grew up in south Utica bordered with this town but man it looks like the blue prints were stolen lol only 3-4 hours north so it makes sense.
i knew about this place for 30 years another place they did this is in buffalo ny but it all went wrong there but you can see the big houses they had there
The actress Michelle Williams lives on the corner of Albemarle Road and Argyle Road and Vincent Price was supposed to have owned the on the corner of Albemarle Road and Buckingham Road. The houses were also owed by the big shots from the movie industry when the industry was on E 14 Street Ave M Viogragh Studios where Charlie Chaplin and Rudolph Valentino started
@Pauo Bunyon 6st and 5th was Italians if you went pass 5th st towards 1st street was spanish carrol street was Italians the 20s was italian 6th ave pass 12st had some spanish remember the FMDs floor master dancers. That was like a spanish gang
Never spent too much time in Brooklyn, but it really looks nice! I'm not seeing any graffiti, unless I'm just missing it, so people hopefully respect that area. But glad to see some FedEx trucks driving around, since their stock has done me really well lately! I think those people were praying for a Trump victory!!! 😂 As usual, thanks for the excellent tour Brandon! 😃
@jimbo1637 😂😂😂😂 so how many of the "migrants" will they take in that your guy Brandon let in. It's a rhetorical question, because they're all a bunch of HYPOCRITES.
What are you driving...an 86 Chevy plumbing van with an exhaust leak? You need Stuntman to find a quieter vehicle since your doing your stealth driving missions.
Neighborhood would not be the same though --- remember, living in a home is one thing. Being able to have a job so you could pay the rent or buy it is another.
I tell people I love Brooklyn I’m from the Bronx Brooklyn gets a bad rep as if it’s the worst place in nyc. But let me tell you something growing up in the Bronx and being a lover of everything NYC I can tell you I’ve been to almost everywhere in the Bronx and to be Frank it is a monolith of monotonous 5 to 6 story apartment buildings very boring housing stock and with the exception of portions of the east Bronx and riverdale it looks identical from the tip of the Bronx to the Westchester border and actually very boring and non diverse and the “hood culture” dominates almost every aspect of the borough not saying the whole borough but majority. Brooklyn although having low income dangerous areas such as east NY , Brownsville basically northeastern Brooklyn, has a very diversified housing stock such as these beautiful houses and many low rise, high rise and two family homes in the borough. There are hipsters, religious Jews, blacks and Latinos, Russians, Italians, Caribbean folk, Chinese, polish it’s just extremely diverse plus you got Coney Island, the wonderful skyline view of lower Manhattan ( the Bronx only has a view of upper Manhattan),bay ridge , heck even the gentrified north Brooklyn (williamsburg, green point) area has something unique to offer. You got gate way national park I could go on and on. Plus Brooklyn I feel doesn’t have just the monoculture of “hip hop and street culture” the Bronx has that dominates its ambience not saying this to be ignorant but I grew up in the Bronx and it gets boring and I love hip hop urban culture myself. Long story short since I was young Brooklyn was always a mystical place coming from the Bronx you never went to Brooklyn it was always the “no go zone” to ghetto and dangerous or just a worlds away and being naturally curious I have always travelled there alone heck even stayed there for a time and I love it Brooklyn > bronx

Very interesting, I had no idea such a neighbourhood existed. I wish I had known about it when I lived in nearby Windsor Terrace in 2005.
Suburbs with access to the city.. doesn’t get much better than that . Thanks for another interesting video.
Absolutely! Unfortunately, most people feel the same. So good luck finding a house in this neighborhood for less than $2 million.. .

Another nice job Mooney. I lived in an apartment when I went to Medical school in Flatbush section. I avoided places like this-makes u very envious.
My dad's neighborhood. He would go through prospect park to get to ebbet's field.
Love ur videos. I would just add you mention the st ur on and the st ur Turing onto, also the address of the highlighted property so we can google earth it and check it out as well.
I’ll try to throw that in more 👍
@@MOONEYDashCam wtf are you driving ?? Sounds like a school bus
New York is a lot similar to Chicago (where I’m from) Everything from the trains to the neighborhoods and the vibe these video’s give off.
Cool video - Another beautiful Brooklyn area is Gravesend & Marine Park.
Another great information video. Thank you.
great as always young man
I used to make deliveries to Bobby's department stores right there on church Avenue year's ago..
Great video! Learned a lot as usual!
Great and interesting video as usual...Hi Truck...
Love your vids, stay safe
Peace and love from IRELAND 🇮🇪✌️❤️
Shout out Ireland!!!!!

Hopefully one day I’ll make a video on it
Midwood is beautiful too
It was probably Midwood...It's just like Flatbush, but a little less in every way
Bomb content dude
I just discovered your channel with the tour of Roy Demayo's house
It's great to see this part of Brooklyn. I knew it was big, but didn't know how big! How big is all of Brooklyn anyways? 🤔
Very big ,most population of any borough,,size wise Queens is larger but less people

It wasn’t the usual but yes he wanted all the houses to look unique
Albemarle really doesn't have people hanging out there like a park, but u sure do see alot of dog walkers and bike riders. It's just maintained so well and designed beautifully.
I’m surprised you didn’t go to the Japanese house at 131 buckingham road
Now i’m intrigued I didn’t know there was such a place
I don't know if you've done Riverdale the Bronx but when I go up there I always feel like I'm in California , very nice homes.
I live 3 blocks away from prospect park, right there by rugby
I do cardio on Albemarle road, it’s an amazing walk
This neighborhood is called Ditmas Park with old Victorian style homes
This is one of the prettiest neighborhoods I’ve ever seen. Even the apartments are grand. My friend grew up in a Pre WWII off of Albermarle Rd. 3 bedrooms, huge sunken living room, eat in kitchen, multiple bathrooms!
Wow! that house was really lovely...well worth the tour. Keep up the good work, and mind the Red Lights! ;) Research an area called Riverdale, it's in the Bronx, another hidden gem.

Its not a very impressive house
I believe that area is also referred to as Ditmas Park
I love love your videos
Cant be suburbs without a driveway lol besides that this really reminds me of where I'm from, New Hartford Ny. I actually grew up in south Utica bordered with this town but man it looks like the blue prints were stolen lol only 3-4 hours north so it makes sense.
In 1900 's it was definitely suburbia
i knew about this place for 30 years another place they did this is in buffalo ny but it all went wrong there but you can see the big houses they had there
Risking life and limb to get good footage......some man for one man.

Isnt it Ditmas Park? Around ditmas ave?
LoL..."Cause Ur All Gross"..!!! Loved that..!!! Tina Turner played in Flat Bush...👍
Be careful on these back blocks lol this is really Flatbush. Us people that live in those buildings park our cars back there 😉
I’ll be extra careful when I’m in the area 😁
You really want to go into a beautiful neighborhood, go into Bayridge or Dyker Heights better then all of parkslope and windsor terrace
😂😂
@Pauo Bunyon I grew up in parkslope, parkslope was a rough neighborhood in the 70s 80s early 90s I still live in Brooklyn
@Pauo Bunyon it was mostly italian Irish Spanish
@Pauo Bunyon you had the one building on 9st below 5th ave actually it was on 10st we called it the projests....lol
@Pauo Bunyon 6st and 5th was Italians if you went pass 5th st towards 1st street was spanish carrol street was Italians the 20s was italian 6th ave pass 12st had some spanish remember the FMDs floor master dancers. That was like a spanish gang
Have you done Kensington"

As usual, thanks for the excellent tour Brandon! 😃
You’re right there’s no graffiti in this area. I didn’t even notice that
They were Muslims
This is one of the nicest areas of the city, no graffiti there! But New Yorkers are educated, most of us are too smart to vote for trump...
@jimbo1637 😂😂😂😂 so how many of the "migrants" will they take in that your guy Brandon let in. It's a rhetorical question, because they're all a bunch of HYPOCRITES.
"Cant be stuck, we don't get stuck" without that attitude this channel fails. Keep it up but be safe, really enjoying your channel recently.
1:00: Gothboiclique in the backhoe...
Geezus is there anywhere in NUC where people don’t park all over the roads? Too many damn people...
Lots of people have driveways in NYC...like me....
Prospect Park South is in Flatbush not Kensington
What are you driving...an 86 Chevy plumbing van with an exhaust leak? You need Stuntman to find a quieter vehicle since your doing your stealth driving missions.
Did you do Astoria or Park Slope ??
Not yet but Astoria is up there on my list
Can you go to rosedale
So Pretty.... (Your voice is so sweet too) 😘
Prospect Park South is not in Kensington it is in Flatbush. And Kensington is a subdivision of Flatbush.
Pillars instead of street signs >
Beautiful area until you get to about the 13 minute mark
i live here hehe
I’m jealous
@@MOONEYDashCam Actor Michelle Williams lives on the left at 12:12
1305 Albemarle is also my favorite house in the borough!
Just imagine how many homeless people you could house in 1 of those houses
Neighborhood would not be the same though --- remember, living in a home is one thing. Being able to have a job so you could pay the rent or buy it is another.
Take your truck to junkman, he'll " fix " it for you.
I’m keeping my truck as far away as I can
MOONEY Dash Cam lol
Hmm could you do a video of the love of my lifes birthplace. The actress jennifer connelly. Think she's born in Cairo new york 😊
That’s super far from nyc, maybe one day.
12:44 wtf?
There’s no such thing as an elite neighborhood in Brooklyn or anywhere else in New York City except the Upper East Side in Manhattan.
You told you that????
U need a muffler, get Hush Thrush!
Going by the houses to fast
Your car needs a new muffler.
It has been fixed since, it was a manifold leak
This is WRONG, Prospect Park South is NOT Flatbush! That Coney Island and Beverly area is called Kensington "TEACHING TIME"
Just looked into it and you’re absolutely right. I’ll admit when I wrong.

how do you know who is famous when you do not know who Fatty Arbuckle is? You know Charlie Chaplin is but nut Arbuckle.
