Marked by traditional townhouses and apartment buildings as well as a flurry of greenspaces, Clinton Hill is a centrally-located residential neighborhood with a unique college-town vibe. Students from St. Joseph’s College and Pratt Institute mingle with young families, artists, professionals, and long-time residents. Fort Greene and Prospect Parks are both nearby, and the area continues to grow as a culinary destination.
The Life
While restaurants and cafes are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood, most of Clinton Hill’s dining and nightlife scenes can be found along Fulton Street and Myrtle and DeKalb Avenues. A concentration of schools, playgrounds, and parks make Clinton Hill ideal for growing families, and quiet strolls along residential streets are perfect for unwinding from long weeks of work. Atlantic Avenue and nearby Downtown Brooklyn offer plenty of options for shopping and entertainment, and Fort Greene and Prospect Parks are two of the borough’s best public greenspaces.
