More about Fort Greene ▼
Fort Greene remains one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods with its picturesque tree-lined blocks of brownstones and wood-framed houses, some of which date back to before the Civil War, and array of exciting dining and entertainment options. Residents and visitors alike enjoy movies and performing arts at BAM and the gently rolling hills and greenery of Fort Greene Park. Atlantic Terminal serves as the neighborhood's main transit hub, providing access to multiple subway lines and the LIRR. The iconic Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, once Brooklyn's tallest building, is a Byzantine-Romanesque landmark seen throughout the borough. Notable former residents include Walt Whitman, Richard Wright, Rosie Perez, and, of course, Spike Lee.
