Fort Greene, Brooklyn Real Estate: Rent, Sell, Manage & Invest

Living in Fort Greene
Fort Greene centers on Fort Greene Park — designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and crowned by the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument — with the surrounding Fort Greene Historic District preserving blocks of elegant 19th-century brownstones and row houses. The Brooklyn Academy of Music and the wider cultural district give the area a strong arts identity, and DeKalb Avenue, Myrtle Avenue and Lafayette Avenue supply the restaurants, cafes and shops.
Transit is a defining strength: the Atlantic Terminal/Barclays Center hub packs the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q and R subways together with the LIRR, while the C at Lafayette Avenue and the G nearby add more reach. Housing is anchored by prized landmarked brownstones and townhouses, along with prewar co-ops and a growing number of new condo and rental towers near the Flatbush Avenue corridor and Pratt Institute.
The Fort Greene market, in plain terms
Fort Greene is one of Brooklyn's premier brownstone markets, where landmarked townhouses command strong prices and rarely sit long. Prewar co-ops offer relative value, new-development condos and rentals near Flatbush Avenue draw buyers who want the transit and culture, and rental demand is deep given the location. Inventory in the historic district is tight, which supports values.
