About Canarsie

Within the diverse and heavily populated borough of Brooklyn, there are many smaller communities, each with something unique to offer. Canarsie is one such place, a beautiful and vibrant community within Brooklyn, New York City, and the great state of New York.

Canarsie has an interesting history, as it was an original Dutch settlement where Dutch immigrants set up homes when they arrived to the United States. Until the 19th century, Canarsie was a fishing village, and with its location along the New York bay (specifically, Jamaica Bay, as it is called by locals), it’s not hard to understand why. This prime location was very important in the fishing industry during the United State’s early days. Other cultures, besides Dutch, that are prominent in Canarsie include Italian, Jewish, and African American, especially in recent years. These vibrant, unqiue cultures all come together in Canarsie and make this community interesting and diverse. Families that live here love that about Canarsie.

When in Canarsie, there are a lot of different things to do. One local favorite activity is going to the Canarsie Pier. At Canarsie Pier, popular activities include fishing, picnicking, and boating. Protected by the National Park Service, Canarsie Pier is a great place to go to enjoy the natural habitat here in New York, and take a few deep breaths of fresh air outside of the hustle and bustle of city life.

Many families that live in Canarsie love living here because there are great public transportation options. This is especially relevant to those who live in Canarsie and commute every day into other parts of Brooklyn or New York City proper. With a subway terminal here in Canarsie, it has never been easier to get from here to there, and it provides a great connection with the rest of Brooklyn, as well. Living in the big city can often make it difficult to get around by car, as traffic can be horrible. Having the option of riding the subway to work instead is great, and provides Canarsie residents with economical options for transportation.

Served by the New York Department of Education, Canarsie boasts several high quality public schools, including elementary schools, middle schools, and three high schools. Beside the public school options, there are also a number of private schools and charter schools for local students to choose from. For students attending any of these schools, local Canarsie tutors are available. These local tutors can meet with students one-on-one to help them reach their educational goals.
