Dyker Heights is located in the south-west part of Brooklyn, between Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst. The neighborhood borders Bay Ridge to the west (at 7th Avenue), Boro Park to the north (at 65th Street), Bensonhurst to the east (at 14th Avenue), and the namesake park to the south (at 86th Street). Community: Dyker Heights includes the neighborhood of Dyker Park, an exclusive community of high-priced mansions situated next to the namesake park. Dyker Park extends from the park’s border to the Gowanus Expressway, and from 86th Street southward to the Fort Hamilton Army Base.
Dyker Heights is a showcase of Brooklyn’s best architecture. Examples of almost every major style can be found here, especially along the park-side avenues. Housing in Dyker Heights runs the gamut from attached and semi-detached brick rowhouses to stately mansions with landscaped grounds. Generous lot sizes and zoning regulations in this area have resulted in large, spacious houses, built of brick and/or stone. 13th Avenue, also known as Dyker Heights Boulevard, is the neighborhood’s main commercial strip. The 13th is home to gourmet food shops and delis, a large supermarket, several pharmacies, a bakery, the post office, and many other establishments. The Dyker Heights branch of the Brooklyn Public Library is located at 8202 13th Avenue.
The Dyker Heights community is famous for grandiose Christmas decorations. Visitors from all over the Tri-State Area come to see the stunning displays of lights, animatronic statues, and synchronized music. Many of the amazing decorations are motivated by complicated family stories, illustrating the long history of the neighborhood and the closeness of the families that live there. The displays have been the topic of several TV documentaries, most notably PBS' "Dyker Lights". Christmas is not the only time that Dyker Heights residents enjoy a good spectacle. In Bay Ridge, right next door, the annual Ragamuffin Parade showcases the talents of over 3,000 Brooklyn kids, and neighboring Bensonhurst attracts thousands of visitors to the feasts of Saint Rosalia, one of the patron saints of Sicily, and the Feast of Padre Pio.
