Location

The address is 288 North 8th 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 2.6 miles from Barclays Center, 2.9 miles from the Empire State Building, 2.9 miles from Grand Central.

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.
