Fort Greene at a Glance
Named for Revolutionary War General, Nathaniel Greene, who built a fort on the hill of what is today's Fort Greene Park, Fort Greene has an identity that straddles both distinguished brownstones and row houses of its historic district. It is also known as the music and entertainment heart of Brooklyn, with the The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and the surrounding Brooklyn Cultural District in its center. With Atlantic Terminal anchored along its southern edge, serving both the Long Island Railroad and multiple subway lines, the neighborhood reflects a nearly perfect intersection of convenience and lifestyle.
