Fort Greene Real Estate

Rows of stately brownstones—including a wealth of lovingly-restored mid-19th century Italianate and Eastlake architecture—line the quiet, tree-lined streets in Fort Greene, the neighborhood immediately east of Downtown Brooklyn.

Fort Greene was a well-off neighborhood in the late 19th century. It caught the attention of wealthy homebuyers once again in the 1980s, and the housing booms of the 1990s and early 2000s saw the influx of many new residents and businesses.

The residents of Fort Greene are a healthy combination of artists, students, professionals and families, all of whom love the vast green spaces of Fort Greene Park. The neighborhood is also home to several important cultural institutions including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, host to film, music and numerous other world-class cultural events. Brooklyn Technical High School is one of New York City's most competitive public schools, and The Pratt Institute in neighboring Clinton Hill is one of the nation's leading art schools. DeKalb and Myrtle Avenues are the main thoroughfares offering plentiful shopping and dining, and in the spring and summer you can stroll past or visit the area's many outdoor cafés. Brooklyn Flea, a market featuring local vendors, is the latest addition to Fort Greene's many attractions.

Subway access is plentiful via most of the city's subway lines and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) stops at Flatbush Avenue.
