5. Martense Court

Built in 1916 on the site of a former estate located mid-block along Martense Street between two major thoroughfares, Flatbush and Bedfod Avenues, Martense Court has seven single-family rowhouses on each side. Although the houses and lots are not as large as the Marlborough Court bungalows, the exclusive character of this cul-de-sac is reinforced by the houses’ distinctive architecture. They are built in a Colonial Revival style that was (and remains) uncommon in this area of Flatbush and New York City generally.
