East Flatbush is a residential neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. East Flatbush is bounded by Crown Heights. East Flatbush is split up into three subsections. From west to east they are Erasmus, Farragut, and Remsen Village/Rugby. East Flatbush generally is very similar in nature to neighboring Flatbush, as both are predominantly West Indian and working class; however, Flatbush has a higher percentage of White and Asian residents than East Flatbush.
The area was populated after World War II predominantly by immigrant Jews and Italians. Many of these original immigrants and their families have since moved out of the area. There are still Jewish areas to the North on the border with Crown Heights and to the South West corner where it borders Midwood and Marine Park.
