Location
The address is 426 South 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211, United States.
Our data records the borough as Brooklyn without a confirmed neighborhood, so we do not name one.
In a straight line it is about 2.1 miles from Barclays Center, 3.2 miles from the World Trade Center, 3.4 miles from the Empire State Building.
Those are straight-line distances between coordinates, not walking routes, so treat them as a way to compare properties rather than as a travel time.
