Bay Ridge United Church is located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on Bay Ridge Parkway(75th Street) between 6th Avenue and 7th Avenue.
Bay Ridge on the Narrows in the shadow of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, like Brooklyn is marked by social diversity. Its one- and two-family homes and mid-rise apartment buildings along Shore Road and 4th Avenue have helped it retain its "small-town character." A sense of community pervades Bay Ridge and the fact that many excellent stores and restaurants are within walking distance is one of the neighborhood's appeals. Its closeness to Manhattan by subway or express bus is another.
Public and private elementary schools are excellent and the public junior high schools are being reformatted as smaller, magnet schools. Choice of public high school varies from nationally known Stuyvesant in Manhattan to the local Fort Hamilton with its football team, marching band and swimming pool. Many private high schools are also available.
The local police precinct has one of the lowest crime rates in the city.
