Ditmas Park is a neighborhood in western Flatbush in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, east of Kensington, and is one of three Flatbush neighborhoods which have been officially designated Historic Districts. Located on land formerly owned by the Ditmas family that remained rural until the early 20th century, the neighborhood consists of many large, free-standing Victorian homes built in the first decade of the 1900s. The traditional boundaries of Ditmas Park are from Ocean Avenue to East 16th Street and from Dorchester Road to Newkirk Avenue. Due to confusion over what to call the larger neighborhood, however, all of Victorian Flatbush is now generally referred to as "Ditmas Park". The current borders, of what is now considered to be Ditmas Park, are from Coney Island Avenue on the west to Ocean Avenue on the east, and from Avenue H to the south to Caton Avenue in the north. Ditmas Park is policed by the NYPD's 70th Precinct, and is within Brooklyn Community Board 14.
