Starrett City is a housing development in Brooklyn, New York City. Starrett City opened in 1974, and in 2002, changed its name to the Spring Creek Towers. The neighborhood is part of Brooklyn Community Board 5. Starrett City is patrolled by the NYPD's 75th Precinct.
The Starrett City site spanned over 153 acres (0.62 km2)
before being subdivided in 2009 as part of a refinancing. The housing
development contains 5,881 apartment units in 46 buildings,
and is said to be the largest federally assisted rental property in the
United States. The residential site also includes eight parking
garages, a community center, and a number of parcels of undeveloped land
were separated out from the residential site as part of the
refinancing.
The residential portion of the property has eight "sections" each
including several buildings, its own field, recreational area (jungle gym, park, handball court, basketball court) and a parking garage
for residents in that section. These sections are Ardsley, Bethel,
Croton, Delmar, Elmira, Freeport, Geneva, and Hornell; each named after
municipalities in Westchester County and upstate New York
(except for Freeport, which is on Long Island). Each building has
between 11 and 20 floors, with eight apartments on most floors. All of
the apartment buildings have a street address as well as a building name
consisting of one letter from A-H, and one number from 1-8. In this
case, A5 would refer to the fifth building of Ardsley Loop.
Starrett City is a very diverse neighborhood. With its many grassy fields, Fresh Creek, and Spring Creek Towers Shopping Center, it is different in landscape, community, and neighborhood life than other regions of Brooklyn. The community has its own newspaper known as the Spring Creek Sun.
