As New Yorkers hope for a break in the rain this summer, many are also craving a break from concrete—and looking for homes that offer immediate access to beautifully designed parks, lush green space. One Domino Square in Williamsburg and Bergen in Boerum Hill are two residential buildings with homes on the market for buyers who value daily connection to nature, light, and open space.
With a sky-high home for sale like Residence 28D, One Domino Square offers the East River and Domino Park in its backyard. Residents can enjoy panoramic views of the waterfront and park from many units, while the elevated outdoor pool deck is situated just above the park. The building offers residents direct access to the 5 acres of public space with expansive lawns, a dog run, a volleyball court, and running and biking paths. The building is also steps from Domino Square, which hosts cultural and seasonal programming – a dynamic public park experience just outside your front door.
At Bergen, where this townhouse is available for sale, the connection to Dean Street Park is seamlessly woven into both the building’s design and its environment. A central glass volume in the building offers clear views into the private garden, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor space. Designed by DXA Studio and Patrick Cullina, the garden is both beautiful and sustainably engineered. Visible waterfalls, runnels, and pools manage stormwater in real time, strategically placed above ground to inspire smarter, greener urban design. Winding forest-like paths, seasonal landscaping, and curated native plant species further the building’s goal of connecting residents to nature. Bergen’s rooftop parks expand the experience upward, with green lawns, fire pit lounges, and dining areas, offering elevated perspectives of the surrounding neighborhood and park space.
