Once a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, Midwood’s serene middle-class appeal now attracts a mix-bag of new immigrants, including Russian, Jamaican, Haitian, Guyanese, Greek, Israeli, Pakistani, Indian, Chinese and Korean transplants. Residents enjoy the tranquil suburban appeal of many of the area’s one and two-story Victorian homes, charming gardens and expansive yards, alongside dignified apartment complexes. When not enjoying their beautiful homes, residents visit the commercial strip, which includes kosher delis, cafés, bakeries and shops, or enjoy the public library and athletic facilities available at nearby Brooklyn College.
