Sheepshead Bay Houses

Sheepshead Bay Houses is a residential complex of multiple mid-rise apartment buildings located in southern Brooklyn near the waterfront. The development features practical housing units arranged across several blocks in a neighborhood where shops, local streets, and access to the water shape the surroundings.

The complex was built in the 1960s as part of New York City's public housing programs, transforming a former fishing village into a modern residential area. This construction marked a significant shift in this coastal region where traditional waterfront activities gave way to planned residential development.

The residential development brings together families from different backgrounds, contributing to the multicultural character of the Brooklyn community.

The complex sits on multiple bus routes and connects well to subway stations that reach all parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Nearby you will find shops, restaurants, and parks along with easy access to waterfront paths and local streets.

The property maintains strong connections to local marine activities through its location near fishing piers and seafood restaurants along Emmons Avenue.
