Brooklyn’s allure for the young, professional sector can be seen in its cozy boutiques, beautiful brownstones, vibrant atmosphere and lower cost of living than Manhattan. As a result, parts of Brooklyn have evolved into a hub of entrepreneurship, high-technology startup firms, postmodern art and design dating back to the 2010s.
Brooklyn’s best-kept secret isn’t an underground club, barista-friendly coffee shop or velvet-cloaked speakeasy. Instead, it is a quaint park-side neighborhood lined with brownstones, bursting with restaurants and bolstered by proximity. It’s a spacetime continuum where neighbors greet each other by name, residents rarely move and time seems to actually slow down. It’s likely this latter detail that has enabled Windsor Terrace to remain out of the limelight for so long.
Windsor Terrace lies along the northern edge of Prospect Park and is preparing for its boldest moment yet. It is on the precipice of welcoming its first-ever newly built luxury rental building, which has ignited a frenzied wave of inquiry due to the area’s stubbornly low inventory. Resales are not common. Windsor Terrace feels more aligned with its turn-of-the-19th-century roots than Manhattan’s concrete jungle in many ways. Prospect Park lines its borders and streets are quiet and tree-lined.
One Park Point, a new luxury living, lease-only rental building in Brooklyn’s suburban oasis, houses 375 residences, from one to two-bedroom homes in a variety of floor plans and layouts. Inspired by thenearby Brooklyn Botanic Garden, an elegant color palette features soft, calm, natural cool and earthy warm hues which complement the building's indoor-outdoor aesthetic. The influence of Prospect Park also channels itself throughout the building with numerous shapes mimicking organic forms.
Gobal architecture studio Woods Bagot developed a curated selection of amenities spanning nearly 20,000 square feet, including two expansive rooftop terraces, which comprise 15,000 square feet total. Situated on the 12th floor the larger of the two sky-high rooftop areas features barbecues, a pizza oven, fire pits and turf for outdoor fitness classes, all of which is framed by unobstructed 360-degree views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines, Verrazano Bridge, Coney Island Ocean and Prospect Park.
Focus Property Group, a subsidiary of progressive real estate development, investment and management firm JEMB Realty, has set June for the official launch. Pricing begins at $3,850 per month for one-bedroom apartments.
Two retail spaces anchor the base of the building and will serve as a neighborhood gathering point for all Windsor Terrace residents, topped by a dozen floors with 36-40 homes per floor. Crowning the top of the building is a

Since time immemorial, Mother Nature has been hard at work in Arches National Park, famous for its namesake rock formations that splash soaring arcs of red-orange sandstone against the bright blue sky of Utah. True to its name, Arches has the highest concentration of natural stone arches of anywhere on Earth, from the graceful 306ft-long Landscape Arch to tucked-away Delicate Arch, a Utah icon so photo-worthy that it’s emblazoned on the state’s license plates.
A mind-boggling glimpse into layers upon layers of Earth’s planetary past, Canyonlands National Park is Utah's largest – and least visited – national park, even though part of it sits a short distance away from Arches National Park, a 40-minute drive from the town of Moab.
Redwoods is one of my favorite National Parks and it shares one aspect with my other favorites: otherworldliness. Being there really feels like you’ve been transported to another world, because there’s no other place like it on this one. Sure, there are forests elsewhere. There are even forests on coasts, but not like this. Coastal redwoods, the trees that give the park its name, are the tallest in the world.
The smallest of Utah’s "Mighty 5" national parks, Bryce Canyon packs a big punch. The first time you clap eyes on its iconic hoodoos – those otherworldly rock spires striped with orange, pink and red – is a moment you’ll never forget, even if you’ve seen photos of them before. This incredible park is home to more hoodoos than anywhere else in the world.

National parks are hotter than ever. In fact, the National Park Service saw over 325 million visits in 2023 — the highest visitation since 2017. However, not everyone who visits the parks likes to hike.
When some people think of a luxury stay that caters to the ultra wealthy, they may imagine a five-star hotel with a Michelin-star restaurant. Others might think of an overwater bungalow that makes them feel at one with the ocean.
