Niche Reviews 
Established in the 1830s, Brooklyn, New York's Cypress Hills neighborhood features a diverse population and entrance to the world-famous Cypress Hills Cemetery. The final resting place for famed actress Mae West and record-breaking baseball player Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers, most of the cemetery lies in Queens, New York, which borders the northeast Brooklyn community. More than a dozen mass transit bus lines pass through this revitalized neighborhood, making its houses and condos for rent convenient for travel to midtown Manhattan, about 11 miles away.
Angela's Pizzeria, a family-owned tradition in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, keeps locals happy with its crispy slices and robust calzones. Rico Pollo II delights its neighbors with well-seasoned rotisserie chicken and other Dominican and Latin American dishes. The decor, atmosphere, and Caribbean and Latin influences at Carro Cafe draw locals who enjoy meals, drinks, such as coconut mojitos, and nightlife at the venue. Locals gather, stroll, and celebrate the outdoors at Highland Park on Jackie Robinson Parkway and work out at the YMCA a few blocks away.

Moved here a year ago, and I would describe Cypress Hills as up and coming. Live off of the Cypress Hills J train stop. Highland park is good and the neighborhood is DEFINITELY changing, in a good way. New buildings going up/being renovated. Need more restaurants and food options though.

I have lived in Cypress Hills my entire life and have seen the steady decline of the area. The area is full of renters who contribute to the neighbor negatively by selling drugs and committing petty crimes. These low lives are pushing home owners to sell their homes as the neighborhood is no longer safe

Great community on the border of Brooklyn and Queens. Lots of places to eat that you can walk to. Roads and sidewalks could use some work.

Cypress Hills is located in a subsection of Brooklyn. Very close to Queens and located near the A and J train.
