The Hancock House, New York

The Hancock House is located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, just a block from Irving Square Park and walking distance to an endless array of shops, dining and entertainment. The neighborhood is known as a creative bastion of Brooklyn, and residents of the Hancock House will find vibrant street art throughout the neighborhood.

The house itself is a classic Brooklyn row house, with a stone facade and large bay windows for natural light. The interior of the Hancock House has been renovated for a new generation of residents, while maintaining the exposed-brick walls and hardwood floors so common to classic Brooklyn homes.

As in much of Brooklyn, Bushwicks coffee shops, bars, art galleries and performance dot the neighborhoods avenues, while the streets maintain a residential feel thanks to the strong community residents have built over the years. Bushwick is the perfect neighborhood to experience a unique part of Brooklyn that is often overlooked. Our favorite eateries include the perfect pizza at Robertas, Ethiopian cuisine at Bunna Cafe and the popular Taiwanese food at Win Son. If youre looking for a green space to retreat to, just head on over to Irving Square Park, only a block away, or Maria Hernandez Park, a center for community activities in the neighborhood.
