Apartments for rent in Flatbush, Brooklyn
Flatbush is one of Brooklyn's most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods, full of cultural flavor and community pride. Historic Victorian homes sit alongside the Caribbean markets and restaurants that give the area much of its character. Prospect Park is close by, and Flatbush remains one of the more accessible parts of central Brooklyn to rent in.
Flatbush is in central Brooklyn; unlike most of the neighborhoods on this site, it has no official city-drawn boundary, and different sources draw its edges differently — commonly somewhere around Parkside Avenue to the north, New York Avenue to the east, Avenue H to the south, and Ocean or Coney Island Avenue to the west. Pear's Airtable treats Flatbush as its own neighborhood, separate from the adjacent Ditmas Park and East Flatbush, which is the boundary this page and its rent figures use.
The commercial spine along Flatbush and Church Avenues is anchored by the Flatbush Reformed Dutch Church at 890 Flatbush Ave, a New York City landmark since 1966; the current church building dates to 1796–97, on a site used for Dutch Reformed worship since the 1650s. Housing nearby includes single-family and rowhouse construction from the neighborhood's early development along with six-story Art Deco and Colonial Revival elevator apartment buildings from the interwar period.
Pear's Flatbush inventory is the smallest of the seven neighborhoods on this site by a wide margin — 29 units all-time, one active listing as of our August 2026 snapshot — and the rent table below publishes a one-bedroom figure only.

Straight answers
Flatbush apartments, frequently asked
What's rent like in Flatbush?
Based on Pear's own listings through August 2026, the median one-bedroom asking rent was $2,600 — see the table above for the sample size. That's the only bedroom count with enough listings to publish; this is Pear's own asking rent, not a market-wide average.
What subway lines serve Flatbush?
The Q train stops at Church Avenue at all times, with limited weekday express B service. Several nearby Brighton Line stations often described as "Flatbush" in casual usage — Beverley Road and Newkirk Avenue among them — are actually on the Ditmas Park border, so we've left them off this page rather than claim them for Flatbush. See the transit section above for sources.
Why does Flatbush only have one published rent figure?
We suppress any bedroom size with fewer than 10 units in our sample, and Pear's total Flatbush inventory is only 29 units all-time — small enough that only the one-bedroom count clears the bar.
Where exactly is Flatbush's boundary?
There isn't an official one — even Flatbush's own historical accounts describe the boundary as long disputed, and different sources draw it differently. This page and its rent figures follow the boundary Pear's own internal neighborhood field uses, which treats Flatbush as distinct from Ditmas Park and East Flatbush.
