11th and 12th avenues are called "mansion row." Both are very scenic and quiet with many large and grand homes.

Dyker Heights Blvd (13th ave) is the only commercial street in Dyker Heights. It is the town square of Dyker Heights. It contains many mom and pop shops and no chain stores. The major places are La Bella Marketplace, Sirico's catering hall, Bova's meat market, and B&A meat market. 13th avenue is very clean and safe, it's where the locals meet up with each other.

My cousins live here and I spend a lot of time here, and in general it is decent. For Staten Island, it's great. it is convenient, but it is pretty urban. By no means is this rural or even suburban, It is still city living for a discount. The area has the same problems as the rest of Staten Island, but decent overall.

Annadale, like most of Staten island, is changing. There is also a drug epidemic which makes this neighborhood uncomfortable to walk around. in the 90s the garbage dump was certainly capable of being smelled from here. I would suggest Southern Brooklyn over the South Shore of Staten Island. If you must stay in Staten Island, I suggest Tottenville, Lighthouse Hill, Todt Hill, and Concord

A very nice avenue. Most of the Dyker Heights mansions are on this avenue and the blocks stemming off of it. The nicest part of this avenue are the blocks going off 12th between 75th and 86th streets. The avenue has beautiful houses on it. It is not as quiet as the blocks that go off of it, but is not busy in comparison to other avenues. An excellent location to live.

In general, 10th avenue in nice, but not as nice as 11th or 12th avenues. Although not as nice as the others, it is still very nice comparing to the rest of New York City. It's not very busy, but not as quiet as the side streets. Above 75th street is the nicest part of 10th ave, and below 75th 10th ave is ok, but not as nice. In general, a nice place to live.

76th street is a quiet suburban oasis in brooklyn, but it comes with a price tag. The houses are worth more than one million each now. This street still is majority Italian and all the neighbors know each other.
76th Btwn 9th and 10th- somewhat busy, but pretty street with well kept homes.
76 btwn 10th and 11th- quiet, friendly street wth pretty houses
76 btwn 11th and 12th- quiet, tree lined street with nice homes and some nice condos .
76 btwn 12th and 13th- Very expensive block with very beautiful homes. Very quiet and friendly. The beginning of the block has colonial homes turned Mediterranean villas. The block continues with very large semi attached homes that also look like Mediterranean villas. This block is upscale and convenient and very easy to park on. All the residents have driveways so that's probably why. Very Italian and one of my favorites in Dyker Heights .

Overall very pretty, green, and quiet street with very pretty houses. Very Italian and a lot of neighborly spirit.

Dyker Heights is a very beautiful and now very expensive Italian neighborhood in Southwest Brooklyn. The streets are clean and quiet and the houses are extravagant, even the small ones. All the neighbors know each other here and it functions as a small town. People shop at LaBella, get their meats at Bova or B&A, and can do most chores on 13th ave. Everyday, throughout the whole neighborhood, church bells are heard at 12 and at night. This area is perfect if you're looking for quiet and safety while still being accessible to NYC.

Dyker Heights is majority Italian, but affluent Lebanese, Chinese, and Greeks also call this town home. Most people would say the border is Bay Ridge Avenue, even though maps say 65th street. Between 65th and Bay Ridge Avenue is a middle class are with mostly Chinese, professional residents. Many shopping areas and auto places are here. Between Bay Ridge Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway are mostly middle to upper middle class residents of mostly Italian, but also some of Chinese decent. This area is mostly residential, with some shops on 11th avenue and Dyker Heights Boulevard (13th Ave). Between Bay Ridge Parkway (75th Street) and the golf course (86th street) are mostly upper middle class - upper class professional families who appreciate the quiet and serenity Dyker Heights has to offer. These people are mostly of Italian decent, but also Lebanese and Greek. This is where most of the Christmas lights are. 76th street though 85th street are all quiet residential streets of affluent residents.
Dyker Heights is also incredibly safe.
Overall, Dyker Heights is a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
13th avenue (Dyker Heights Blvd) is the main thoroughfare and the only street with businesses. These businesses are catered to the residents- including upscale grocery stores and restaraunts- as well as butchers and pharmacies. The side streets off 13th are private and quiet. Overall, this avenue has a much nicer feeling than other avenues in NYC, more like a small town.
Dyker Heights has a beautiful 18 hole golf course which enhances the whole feeling of the community. The community does really feel like a golf club community.
Dyker Heights has access to the X28, which has stops on 86th Street, but no subway access- although residents consider that a pro.
Very easy access to Staten Island, a little far to manhattan for Brooklyn standards but not undoable- 45 minutes
Most shopping and dining is done in more commercial Bay Ridge.
All avenues are newly paved.
Contrary to popular belief, Dyker Heights ends at 14th Ave, not 16th.
Dyker Heights also has plenty of park space.
-Mckinly Park
-Dyker Golf Course
-Dyker Beach Park
-Dyker Beach dog park
-Leif Erickson park
-Dyker middle school park
-Ovington park.

Parking is extremely easy here, unlike most of Brooklyn. Everyone has a driveway and there are always spots on the side streets, although residents ask that you leave the spots for those who live on the block

Dyker Heights also has a lower population density

The Christmas season here is unlike anywhere else
