The feel of the neighborhood

Rows of carefully kept brownstones surround Fort Greene Park, and the side streets have a village-like quiet. DeKalb Avenue and Fulton Street bring cafés, restaurants, and a creative crowd. Much of the neighborhood is part of the Fort Greene Historic District.

Homes and architecture

Italianate and Greek Revival brownstones line streets such as South Oxford, South Portland, and Washington Park. Converted townhouse condos and mid-rise buildings offer smaller footprints, and larger new developments sit toward Downtown Brooklyn.

Getting around

The C stops at Lafayette Avenue and the G at Fulton Street. Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center connects to the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, R, and the LIRR, and DeKalb Avenue adds the B, Q, and R.
