The development is in Crown Heights, only a block away from the Weeksville Historical Society and the historic Hunterfly Road Houses, a prominent African American community in the 19th century. Crown Heights is perhaps best known for the infamous Crown Heights Riots in 1991 and has retained its status as a diverse and vibrant community of African Americans, Jews, and Caribbean immigrants. It is also home to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and the West Indian Day Parade.
