Windsor Terrace (New York City, New York)

Windsor Terrace is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.Largely residential, Windsor Terrace is home to mainly Irish, German-American, Polish-American and Italian-American families, many having settled in its brick rowhouses and small woodframe homes when the neighborhood was first developed at the turn of the Twentieth Century.

Over time, Windsor Terrace has become increasingly diverse, including Greek and Hispanic people, in addition to a small minority of Syrians, Maronite Lebanese and Jewish-Americans. More recently, an influx of Park Slope and Manhattan refugees as a result of "gentrification" has pushed house prices well above average. The neighborhood public schools, P.S. 154 and P.S. 130, are well regarded.They are some of the primary attractions of the neighborhood for both the traditional Windsor Terrace community and the Park Slope spillover. Both schools feature a number of special enrichment programs for students, such as chess and journalism. Both schools received "A" grades in the 2010-11 New York City Department of Education Progress Reports.
