Fort Greene

Renowned for its cultural institutions and quiet charm, Fort Greene has experienced a renaissance. Residents enjoy proximity to casual eateries and cafes, indie retail shops, and famous attractions – such as the Brooklyn Flea’s seasonal market, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the Barclays Center – which add life and texture to the otherwise tranquil community. The area's two bus and nine subway lines seamlessly shuttle commuters throughout the city. Those working from home can look forward to work breaks and daily community functions in the centrally-located Fort Greene Park, which boasts some 30 acres of lawn space, sports facilities, playgrounds, and picnic venues. Dogs are free to roam off-leash in many parts of the park – one of the many reasons that the area has a developed dog-friendly reputation. Fort Greene's other outdoor venues such as Cuyler Gore, Albert J. Parham Playground, and Commodore Barry Park contribute to its vibrant reputation. With more than 1000 townhouses set within its small confines, Fort Greene is charming, visually appealing, and uniquely interpersonal.
