America's Best Eco-Neighborhoods
The Natural Home Top 10

4. Brooklyn, New York - PARK SLOPE NEIGHBORHOOD
Resurgent Park Slope is only 4 miles from Manhattan and features charming Victorian brownstones, townhouses and apartments, a stimulating cultural scene and family-friendly ambiance.
Curb appeal:
* Nation’s largest member-owned and operated food co-op
* Five subway stops and a bus route
* Activist community projects: restoring bluestone sidewalks, hosting first citywide household hazardous-waste collection day, intensive recycling pilot program
* Recreational areas, a zoo, bandstand, ponds, a lagoon and picnic grounds in 526-acres Prospect Park. Nearby Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden free to the public at least two days per week
Nice to know someone noticed! As my darling SB just marveled a couple of days ago my Co-Op really does rock. They didn't note the 5 community gardens in the vicinity, the BBG Urban Composting Project or the 3 farmers' markets. I'll stop singing my little neighborhood's praises now. It may not be perfect but it suits me just fine.
