When your nickname is the "Handsomest Suburb in Greater New York" you have something to live up to! And Dyker Heights, located in the southwest corner of Brooklyn, does just that. A beautiful mixture of stunning homes, gracious parks and well-appointed businesses make this suburb an absolute delight.
