Fort Greene

Park views and brownstone blocks.

Fort Greene pairs a prominent neighborhood park with streets of historic townhouses and apartment buildings. Fort Greene Park’s sloping landscape offers a green center, while the avenues around it connect residential blocks with shops and cultural destinations.

The Brooklyn Academy of Music is part of the nearby cultural landscape. Housing ranges from brownstones and smaller apartment buildings to larger developments along the neighborhood’s edges, with each setting offering a different relationship to the surrounding streets.
