For other uses, see, Cypress Hills (disambiguation)
'Cypress Hills' is a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York City, United States, lying north of City Line and south of Cypress Hills Cemetery, in the far northeastern corner of Brooklyn. It is abutted on the west by Bushwick, on the south by City Line, and on the east, across the Brooklyn-Queens border, by Woodhaven and Ozone Park.
Depending on one's definition, the southern border of the neighborhood is Conduit Boulevard or Sutter Avenue.
The northern part, north of Atlantic Avenue, is mixed, with Hispanic-Americans, South Asian-Americans, African-Americans, and European-Americans.[1] [2]
The southern part is composed of African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans, and a scattered presence of South Asian-Americans.[1] [2]
It is served by the J train and the Z train, BMT elevated rail lines of the Metropolitan Transit Authority --(see also the article on the Jamaica Line), and the A train and the C train of the IND subway lines.
Atlantic Avenue and Conduit Boulevard pass through the neighborhood.
In the south, on Sutter Avenue, facing the Cypress Hills Houses, is a branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. Northeast-ward, in the Woodhaven neighborhood, on Forest Parkway, is a branch of the Queens Borough Public Library.
Franklin K. Lane High School is at the extreme northeast corner of the neighborhood, north of Jamaica Avenue.
To the south, more properly in the City Line neighborhood, are the "Cypress Hills Houses," housing projects under the authority of the New York City Housing Authority.
