Flatlands

Flatlands is a neighborhood in the southeast part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City.

The neighborhood borders are roughly defined by Avenue H to the north, Avenue U to the south, Ralph Avenue to the east, Flatbush Avenue to the southwest and Nostrand Avenue to the northwest. 

The town’s growth and development came late because of a lack of a transit system or set of roads connecting it with other parts of Brooklyn. The Junction, at Flatbush Avenue and Nostrand Avenuelater replaced the town center, and the 2 5 trains at Flatbush Avenue station under the Junction made it easier to get to and from Flatlands.
