East 25th Street between Avenue D and Clarendon Street in Flatbush won the 2023 contest. This is the block's fifth time winning in the annual event's 30-plus year history.

The block is covered in colorful flowers and healthy green trees backed by a community effort. Officials say each home worked to keep their property in pristine condition while offering a helping hand to each other.
