Fort Greene is one of Brooklyn's most culturally rich neighborhoods. Home to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Fort Greene Park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and a thriving restaurant scene along DeKalb Avenue, the neighborhood has long been a center for the arts, literature, and progressive community life.
The brownstone-lined streets between Myrtle Avenue and Atlantic Avenue draw residents who value walkability, character, and easy access to Manhattan - the area is served by nearly a dozen subway lines. Fort Greene borders Clinton Hill to the east and Downtown Brooklyn to the south, placing it close to Jungle Kingdom Flower in neighboring Bed-Stuy.
