This Brooklyn House Has The Most Over-The-Top Valentine’s Day Decorations
Prefer a more untraditional date idea this Valentine’s Day? What about a stroll past one of the most decorated houses in NYC? Bay Ridge’s iconic holiday house has swapped their towering Christmas trees and gift boxes for glittery pink hearts and a Betty Boop display!
The illuminated pink paradise is completely free to visit and will remain up until Valentine’s Day (February 14th, 2025). The lights remain on 24/7, so whatever time you visit, you’ll be sure to see the extraordinary decorations.

As with all holidays, the display is quite literally a labor of love, done by Roy Jensen, the owner of the house, and his family. At the end of 2024, we spoke to Jensen’s daughter, Christina, who shared that her father works endlessly from one holiday to the next to get the display up as soon as possible.
Jensen began this tradition on a much smaller scale back when he first bought the property 36 years ago. As the years went on, more and more lights and decorations were added.
The house has become a community staple, as Christina mentioned having so many regulars pass by to cheer the family on while they decorate each holiday.
“What started as a family tradition turned into something we never imagined. Since we’ve gone viral online, we’ve engaged with so many people out of state, all over the world who come by just to visit our display. It’s a wonderful feeling for everyone,” said Christina.
