The collaboration to establish the Cypress Hills Fulton Business Improvement District (BID) was driven by the proactive leadership of the Cypress Hills Business Partners, a vibrant merchants association dedicated to fostering economic growth and community development. Facilitated by the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation, essential support was garnered from the NYC Dept. of Small Business Services.
Together, these stakeholders pooled their resources, expertise, and passion to champion the creation of the BID, aiming to enhance the local business environment, attract investment, and promote sustainable prosperity throughout the Cypress Hills Fulton area.

Cypress Hills hosts over 300 small businesses catering to the diverse needs of residents commuting via the J train or returning home. Renowned for its vibrant culinary scene, the neighborhood offers a rich tapestry of Dominican and Caribbean cuisine alongside historic pizzerias, Chinese eateries, and cozy coffee shops. Unlike areas dominated by national chains, Cypress Hills remains a haven for independent businesses, from cherished barber shops to corner bodegas and family-owned hardware stores, where patrons often interact with the owners on a daily basis.
Nestled within walking distance of Brooklyn’s expansive Highland Park, boasting amenities like baseball fields, soccer pitches, tennis courts, and a scenic 1.2-mile paved nature trail, Cypress Hills offers a unique blend of urban convenience and natural beauty. With its strategic location near major thoroughfares like the Jackie Robinson Parkway, Conduit Ave/Belt Parkway, and Atlantic Ave, the community enjoys excellent connectivity to all corners of the city, making it a hidden gem in Brooklyn’s bustling landscape.
The surrounding neighborhood is a traditional mix of one and two family homes, making the residential streets bright and walkable. One of the few Brooklyn neighborhoods not overcome with a wave of gentrification, Cypress Hills is a great place for young families and immigrants. The diverse faith community is vibrant and local leaders are vigilant, looking out for the community ensuring that safety and affordability are constantly monitored.
