The white mansion with the pillars has been on so many shows. I'm glad somebody finally restored it

[@reptilian.s]

Ashamed to admit I wasn't aware it was such a beautiful neighborhood let alone it even existed. Thank you for taking me on this journey, Paul

[@paulsportal1720]

@@reptilian.s You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

I went to catholic school around here over two decades ago. Missing walking by these houses on my way to school. Beautiful, historic houses owned by black people only rivaled by Laurelton and Cambria Heights in Queens. Nice to see these areas still thriving.

[@kathyb5740]

Beautiful walk on a gorgeous day ❤️.....

[@paulsportal1720]

Spring and summer over there is a really nice time to walk around this area.

[@lornahardin4563]

Thanks Paul for another fantastic walk. I'm in northern California and I have never seen such grandeur homes as you show us. They are probably here somewhere, we have some gorgeous Victorians in my gold rush area, where I live, built about 1850+, but not so grand in size.

[@paulsportal1720]

Thank you Lorna! I appreciate you watching these and I’m glad you’re enjoying all the cool houses. It’s fun to go explore and document these areas. I’ve been to NoCal before and I loved Big Sur, Mount Shasta and The Redwoods. Beautiful nature everywhere up there!

[@lornahardin4563]

@@paulsportal1720 There sure is, the Redwoods are my favorite go to. We live in the gold country, around the Placerville area, a super quaint historic gold town, Old Hangtown.

Its nice to see the Garage is in the back of the house not Directly in the front

[@TheUrbanDocumentary]

Great walk! Really nice homes and the area looks really peaceful.

[@paulsportal1720]

Fully agree! A very relaxing vibe. Check out my Forest Hills Gardens video for an even more peaceful and beautiful walk. An older private historical area. Thanks for viewing!

[@kimmie1957]

Wow I left in the 80’s I go home every year though. I lived on nostrand Ave between Farragut & Glenwood rd. By the junction . I love that area with the pretty homes

[@jackiebrown100]

Enjoyed this video. I've been to the other areas of Flatbush like the Junction but never knew this quiet and tranquil neighborhood existed in Flatbush.

[@paulsportal1720]

Yeah, it's really nice and historic. The best time to check it out is in spring when everything is in full bloom. Thx for watching!

[@anthonylew183]

I use to walk through these streets when I was in my early teens in the 1980's while I was a student at Ditmas Junior High School. My news paper route was on Ocean Ave from Foster Ave to Church Ave before school 6 days a week including sundays ...thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@paulsportal1720]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Been awhile since I had a paper route myself!

[@RaniJ24]

This was eye opening to me. I had no idea Flatbush, Brooklyn looked like this. It might as well be the suburbs on NJ.

[@paulsportal1720]

This is primarily the Ditmas Park section of Flatbush. Very nice indeed!

[@kimmie1957]

Wow I think the train I used back then was the 3 & 4 & I caught the D when I go to Coney Island . I left in 1986 But I go home a lot . Between Bklyn & Staten Island seeing family I’m older now & live in Indianapolis. I’ll always love Bklyn .

[@paulsportal1720]

The 2 & 5 go straight through to The Junction, but that's more the east half. This area is the Q and the B, which was the D years ago like you said. They switched the B and D lines for some reason years back.

[@kimmie1957]

@@paulsportal1720 aww thank you for the update !! 🥰. I’ll always love Bklyn.

[@cleangutterclean]

Wow! Another great video! Thank you for the history lesson of the area (Learned something cool about Flatbush) and your well thought out tour of the neighborhood - fun to watch this non-rushed full detail video.... all from the comfort of my home!

[@paulsportal1720]

Thanks for watching. Good place to bring the little ones. Good food options too. Oh yeah man!

You have a beautiful land & beautiful houses but you don't have the good & friendly relationship with neighbours, I don't see people around neighbours gives joys in exchanging smiles & caring

[@kimmie1957]

Wha block is that at the 20:07 mark? Foster?

[@paulsportal1720]

E19th Street almost at Newkirk Ave.

[@kimmie1957]

@@paulsportal1720 omg my stomping grounds 😂😂😂 so many parties to Newkirk housing by nostrand ave. Lol . I rode by last year & It brought tears . It’s changed a lot of course. I went to schools in Williamsburg then we moved to Flatbush. Now that’s a big change I seen all the parts of Bklyn that has got gentrified . Wow

[@paulsportal1720]

@@kimmie1957 Yeah, the transformation of Brooklyn has been crazy. It basically started after 9/11 and never stopped. It's a trip to see places like Crown Heights or Bed-Stuy with new condos, boutiques and coffee shops. Williamsburg? Forget it. That area is like Disney Land!

[@kimmie1957]

@@paulsportal1720 omg yes I know , & I love Dumbo.. omg bed stuy do or die & crown heights. Forget about it! I seen it & bushwick . Even red hook I rode through going to Fulton shopping , barclay center .. I saw my nephew around linden & 93rd. We went to new Jamaican spot in New lots , omg it was so good . I miss manhattan beach too.

[@deanchapman1824]

Very much like Saratoga Springs.

[@paulsportal1720]

I can see similarities yeah, but I wish there was a mineral spring running through here! Saratoga is a great place. Haven't been in years.
