Ditmas Park is one of three Flatbush neighborhoods which has been officially designated a Historic District. A quiet residential community located on land that remained rural until the early twentieth century, it is a suburban-like housing development consisting of large, free-standing homes built in the first decade of the twentieth century. The Ditmas Park association, founded in 1908, is still active today.Strolling through the tree-lined streets, it’s obvious that the residents take pride in maintaining the integrity of their historic homes, and that many are avid garndeners. Ditmas Park is a friendly place, boasting an active homeowner association which hosts social events, publishes a newsletter and a home improvement directory, and works on numerous civic issues, often jointly with it sister neighborhoods and the Flatbush Development Corporation.
