FORT GREENE

 

Situated in the heart of Brooklyn, Fort Greene effortlessly embodies elegance and charm, making it one of the borough's most coveted addresses. Home to an array of luxurious Fort Greene condos, historic Fort Greene townhouses, and stately brownstones, the neighborhood successfully competes with Brooklyn Heights for the most desirable locale. With the emergence of new buildings offering luxury apartments and hotel-grade amenities, Fort Greene real estate continues to attract discerning buyers and investors.

Centrally located amidst other charismatic neighborhoods, Fort Greene serves as an excellent launch pad for exploring the wider borough. However, the allure of this neighborhood lies in its rich tapestry of attractions, meaning you'll seldom want to venture elsewhere.

A family-friendly community, Fort Greene is marked by lush, tree-lined streets and is anchored by the picturesque Fort Greene Park. The neighborhood boasts a diverse food scene, with a wide selection of casual dining options and hip bars dotting DeKalb and Myrtle avenues. For the fashion-forward and antique collectors, the seasonal Brooklyn Flea market offers an eclectic array of indie boutiques and vintage finds.

Culturally rich, Fort Greene is home to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where performances range from cutting-edge theater to concerts, drawing crowds from far and wide. It's also within walking distance of the Barclays Center, known for hosting major sports events and high-profile concerts.

Adding to the cultural vibrancy of Fort Greene real estate are the esteemed BRIC (Brooklyn's oldest contemporary art gallery), the critically-acclaimed Theatre for a New Audience, and the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts. The recent addition of the nonprofit Center for Fiction, which moved from Battery Park City in 2019, further enhances the neighborhood's cultural offering.
