Runs from Bay Parkway and Avenue P on the north, Ocean Parkway to the east, and the Shore Belt Parkway on the south.
Living in Gravesend means living in a picturesque area with several desirable homes. There are one- and two-family homes that are on quaint tree-lined streets. In addition, there are Spanish-style red-and-tan brick with sloping stucco roofs. Along Avenues S, T, U and Ocean Parkway are some of the most expensive houses in Brooklyn, especially on the wider and deeper lots that allow for grand single-family homes, many with elaborate landscaping.
