    "homeowners assoc began when this NYC historic area was built 1898-1905. On 100th anniversary residents got dressed up in formal attire with dinner and orchestra at the old Montauk Club. We host a now grand Halloween parade with kids and parents. from neighborhoods all over Brooklyn. But mainly in the heart of booming Brooklyn this is a neighborhood quiet night and day with huge elegant homes. 26 years - here our daughters grew up."
