Brooklyn is estimated to have more than half a million Jewish residents, and its four large Orthodox neighborhoods are each a world of their own.
Boro Park runs along 13th Avenue, the Main Street of American Chasidic life, with Bobov, Belz, Vizhnitz, Ger and dozens of other dynasties within walking distance of each other. Williamsburg, centered on Lee and Bedford Avenues, is Yiddish-speaking and Satmar-majority. Crown Heights surrounds 770 Eastern Parkway and the Kingston Avenue kosher strip. Flatbush, along the Avenue J–M corridor and Coney Island Avenue, combines Ashkenazic yeshiva-world families with a growing Sephardic presence.

One of the largest Orthodox communities outside Israel — the Avenue J–M corridor and Coney Island Avenue combine dense Ashkenazic yeshiva-world families with a growing Sephardic presence, all in Brooklyn's most affordable large Orthodox enclave.
The heart of Chasidic Brooklyn — a dense, Yiddish-speaking Satmar-majority community with Pupa, Vien, Sanz-Klausenburg, Viznitz and Boyan kehillos, centered on Lee and Bedford Avenues.

ShulMap maps 4 Orthodox neighborhoods in Brooklyn: Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg and Crown Heights. Together they have 392 shuls on the map, plus 14 kosher stores and restaurants, 101 day schools and 4 mikvaos. Each has its own page with a walkable shul map.
Boro Park has the most on ShulMap, with 178 mapped, followed by Flatbush (131) and Williamsburg (56). Shul count is a rough guide to community size, not to fit — a smaller community with a daily minyan near housing you can afford may suit a family better than a bigger one.
By the US Census median home value for each community's ZIP (2020–2024), Flatbush ($874,500) is the most affordable in Brooklyn, followed by Crown Heights ($1,094,700) and Boro Park ($1,137,300), and Williamsburg ($1,140,700) the most expensive. These are ZIP-wide figures as valued by owners — asking prices usually run higher, and each relocation guide says which sections cost what.
ShulMap has mikvaos mapped in Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg and Crown Heights. Day schools are mapped in Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg and Crown Heights. A community without one on the map may still have one we have not added yet, and families commonly use institutions in a neighboring community.
It differs community by community, and ShulMap never infers one. Each community page carries its own eruv detail with the source and the date it was last checked. Always confirm with your local rav or the eruv hotline before carrying on Shabbos.
