Sea Gate Association

For more than 100 years, the waterfront community of Sea Gate, Brooklyn has had a front row seat to the New York Harbor where cruise ships, sail boats and the occasional mermaid routinely pass by.

Sea Gate, once known as Norton's Point, was originally incorporated in 1899. A private, gated community adjoining Brooklyn's bustling Coney Island boardwalk, Sea Gate was a summer retreat for families like the Morgans, Dodges and Vanderbuilts. Boasting the Atlantic Yacht Club from 1898 until it burned down in 1933, Sea Gate was an ideal location to spend a peaceful, breezy summer.

Currently, with about 8,000 full-time residents, Sea Gate is filled with gilded-age mansions designed by Stanford White, mid-size, sleek condos, and everything in-between.
