Bensonhurst Apartments for Rent
About Bensonhurst Neighborhood

Situated in the southwestern part of Brooklyn, Bensonhurst is home to a large multiethnic community, with over half of its residents foreign-born. The neighborhood’s Italian roots are evident in the tree-lined streets of Brooklyn’s Little Italy. It is also home to what is arguably the largest number of Chinese-born residents as it is now home to Brooklyn’s second Chinatown (the first one originating in Sunset Park). This multicultural hub is bordered by 65th Street to the northeast and 14th Avenue to the northwest. Apartment buildings are clustered throughout the area and many of the older attached or semidetached houses are being replaced with three-story brick apartment buildings and muilti-family condominiums.
