Fort Greene is a neighborhood located in Brooklyn (part of Brooklyn Community Board 2) bordering Prospect Heights, Park Slope and Boerum Hill.
Listed on the New York State Registry and the National Register of Historic Places, Fort Greene is a neighborhood that charms and delights with its tree-lined streets, low-rise housing and numerous examples of well preserved mid-19th century Italianate architecture. Proximity to cultural attractions like the Brooklyn Academy of Music have garnered the neighborhood much attention, and recent years have seen a boom in residential and commercial interest in the neighborhood. Housing options range from three-story townhomes to moderately priced low rises, and trendy cafes and high-end restaurants have opened left and right to meet the needs of the neighborhood's population.
