After existing as rural farmland for centuries, Victorian
Flatbush was developed in the early 1900s as a suburban respite from Manhattan. Early real estate developer
T.B. Ackerson dubbed the area “the village in the city,” a
description that contemporary residents still find
appropriate. Most importantly, at the center of this
“village” is Cortelyou, the main street and shopping
district where residents go to work, run errands,
socialize, and relax. Cortelyou Road has been the main
commercial corridor of Victorian Flatbush for over
one hundred years, and it still retains its indispensable
reputation today.
The businesses of Cortelyou are varied, reflecting
the surrounding neighborhood itself. From Coney
Island Avenue to East 18th Street, Cortelyou boasts
food from around the world, family-owned groceries
and laundromats, hip bars and trendy clothing stores,
art and dance studios, and shops with merchandise
ranging from toys to cameras. On Sundays from 8
am to 4 pm, the Cortelyou Greenmarket offers local
produce sales from Argyle to Rugby, complimented by
a craft fair along Rugby during the same hours, and
every year in September, Cortelyou hosts the famous
Flatbush Frolic street fair with daylong activities.
Cortelyou is well-respected as the economic center of
the neighborhood for locals and non-residents alike.
Besides being an important commercial hub, Cortelyou
also represents the connection residents feel to one
another and to their neighborhood. Residents love
Victorian Flatbush because of its tree-lined streets,
elegant houses, and rich history, but it’s the sense of
community that truly defines the Victorian Flatbush
identity. The neighborhood is home to a diverse,
creative, friendly, and dynamic population committed
to where they live, and the businesses of Cortelyou
reflect this energy. Cortelyou tells the unique and
vibrant story of a community that cares; it is the true
heart of Victorian Flatbush.
