Avenue J is a station on the New York City Subway's BMT Brighton Beach Line. It is located at Avenue J between East 15th and East 16th Streets in the community of Midwood, Brooklyn. There are side platforms serving the local tracks. The station is served at all times by Q trains. The ~620 foot (~189m) platform accommodates full-length trains typically composed of eight 75 foot (22.86m) or ten 60 foot (18.29 m) cars.
The station is located on a raised earthen embankment. The station house is located underneath the right-of-way on the south side of Avenue J.
The station was opened early in the 20th century as a 2-track surface station. It opened as Manhattan Terrace c. 1900 and was renamed to "Avenue J" c. 1907, at about the same time that the railroad line was grade separated.
