Welcome to Fort Greene

A historically and culturally rich neighborhood.
 

Fort Greene has long played an essential role in Brooklyn’s artistic and cultural movement. In centuries past, the neighborhood was home to writers Walt Whitman and John Steinbeck, and today, it serves as the stomping grounds for notable artists like filmmaker Spike Lee and musician Erykah Badu. The mellow environment and picturesque construction produce an energy that fuels creativity and inspiration for those who call the neighborhood home.

 

What To Expect

A neighborhood that’s both community-driven and culturally relevant.

Living in Fort Greene feels like being part of a bona fide community, one where neighborhood kids grow up playing friendly basketball games against each other, or residents enjoy quiet moments out on their stoops, greeting neighbors as they pass by throughout the day.

But don’t let Fort Greene's homey feel fool you; the neighborhood is anything but suburban, as evidenced by its famous and influential cultural institutions. The Brooklyn Academy of Music, MoCADA, and Greenlight Bookstores draw thought leaders from disciplines to perform and contribute to the neighborhood’s artistic body of work.
 

The Lifestyle

Well-balanced. Relaxing days spent in Fort Greene Park, shopping at Brooklyn Flea, and exploring local bars and restaurants at night.
 
One of Fort Greene’s main staples is Fort Greene Park, a sprawling 30-acre public space in the center of the neighborhood.

On weekends, the lot transforms into a day-long commercial hub, selling food, furniture, clothing trinkets, and knick-knacks.

Fort Greene is also known for its low-key restaurant scene, which offers predominantly casual dining options. In the summer, the sidewalks are especially dotted with patrons enjoying their meal in the sun.

 

The Market

Predominantly brownstones and row houses, as well as a few doorman and walk-up buildings,

Most residents in Fort Greene find homes in the neighborhood’s beautifully constructed and well-groomed brownstones.

You can also find space in row houses, many of which have been converted into single-family homes or apartments for couples or roommates.

There are also a handful of doorman and walk-up buildings, although these are more difficult to find and often have very low vacancy rates.
 

You'll Fall In Love With

New and old community bonds define Fort Greene’s strong sense of character.

Fort Greene feels like a neighborhood that’s been lovingly worn-in, with rich history and character. Here, it’s common to see neighbors congregating on stoops and catching up as the day winds down.

Kids run after the neighborhood ice cream truck, neighbors plan block parties, and there’s an all-around spirit of inclusiveness and warmth throughout the neighborhood.

As a famous Brooklyn poet once wrote (and rapped), “Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way.” Here in Fort Greene, it's the only way.
