Fort Greene

The tranquil, tree-lined historic district of Fort Greene is among Brooklyn’s most cosmopolitan neighborhoods. There is a reason for that, or rather, many: grand brownstones endowed with magnificent stoops, bookstores and bustling restaurants, good schools and varied transportation options, the soothing oasis of Fort Greene Park. The area is also one of the city’s cultural crossroads with the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Mark Morris Dance Center, BRIC House, the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts and the Polonsky Shakespeare Center all within a few blocks from each other. No wonder that new luxury high rises have grown around this vibrant artistic hub.
