The neighborhood is one of the most isolated parts of Brooklyn, with a single street (Gerritsen Avenue) providing access. Housing is dominated by small detached and semi-detached single-family bungalows and frame houses, many built in the 1920s as summer cottages.

Gerritsen Beach is served by a single bus route (B31) connecting to the B and Q subway lines at Sheepshead Bay. The neighborhood has historically been a tight-knit, predominantly Irish-American community with deep multi-generational roots. The Gerritsen Beach housing stock is unlike anything else in Brooklyn — small cottages on small lots, often with strong family ties going back generations.
