What is the length of a city block in Brooklyn NY?

Answer 1

In New York City, 17 to 20 street blocks (north/south blocks) equals a mile, and 5 to 10 avenue blocks equals a mile. As you can see, the length of the avenue blocks varies considerably. In Midtown and the Upper East Side, it's about 8 to 10 avenue blocks to a mile, while some avenue blocks on the Upper West Side are over a quarter of a mile long!

Answer 2

In New York City, approximately 17 to 20 street blocks equal a mile, and 5 to 10 avenue blocks equal a mile. So, one street block is 0.05 to 0.059 miles (one twentieth to one seventeenth of a mile), and one avenue block is 0.10 to 0.20 miles (one tenth to one fifth of a mile).

The length of the avenue blocks varies by neighborhood. Generally speaking, the avenue blocks on the West Side are long and the avenue blocks on the East Side are short.

Below 14th Street, though, these estimations cease to apply. Lower Manhattan is the oldest part of Manhattan, and its streets were mostly laid out before the city started expanding and the city planners decided to arrange it on a grid system.

Answer 4

It depends. Are you going north-south or east-west?

A north-south block is 1/20th of a mile, or 264 feet. A block going east-west is roughly 1/5 of a mile, or 1056 feet.

Answer 5

on average, it's 264 by 900 feet (80 × 270 m). this makes the total length (parameter) of the block to be 700 meters
