Fort Greene

A historically and culturally rich neighborhood.

Fort Greene has long played an important role in Brooklyn’s artistic and cultural movement. In centuries past the neighborhood was home to writers Walt Whitman and John Steinbeck, and today serves as the stomping grounds for notable artists like filmmaker Spike Lee and musician Erykah Badu. The mellow environment and picturesque construction produce an energy that fuels creativity and inspiration for those who call the neighborhood home.
