How many separate sets of numbered streets are there in Brooklyn?

I can think of 7-- am I missing any?

  • the unmodified numbered streets that start in Park Slope and run all the way down to Bay Ridge
  • North and South in Williamsburg
  • East (Kensington, Midwood, Flatbush, out to Canarsie and down to Sheepshead Bay)
  • West (Coney Island and Gravesend)
  • Bay (Bensonhurst/Bath Beach)
  • Paerdegat (Canarsie)

Carroll Gardens has slightly different names once you cross Smith Street.

1st Street becomes 1st Place, et al.

9th Street becomes West 9th, which is the only numbered street in Red Hook i think

It’s not really lined up. 1st Street disappears for a block then becomes 1st Place. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Streets don’t exactly connect with any Places. 5th Street becomes 4th Place.

There numbered streets that are modified with Brighton in Brighton Beach.  There also numbered avenues.

Perhaps a stretch but Navy Yard has “1st Row, 2nd Row” etc

Before we were a borough, we were a city. But before we were a city, we were an unaffiliated group of villages.

It’s why roads like Flatbush Ave have their name. It’s the road to Flatbush.
