Neighborhood

Downtown Brooklyn is not only New York’s third-largest business district – it continues to grow and prosper into a pivotal education center. The cityscape around this community is largely made up of historic converted homes and state-of-the-art office buildings. In addition to NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering, New York City College of Technology and Long Island University – Brooklyn reside here.

Once students are done with classes for the day, many can be found enjoying the fresh air at Cadman Plaza Park. Points of interest (as well as means of travel) include the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Even with these nearby, locals prefer to commute using the NYC Subway.

Brooklyn’s admiration for art and culture doesn’t go unnoticed – it’s guaranteed you’ll find an entertainment venue that has either a play, band performance, or film viewing party some night during the workweek. When it comes to shopping, you’ll find that Fulton Street will meet your needs.

I liked this place

This place helped me stay sane during my studies. The shared kitchen and quiet common areas were ideal for late-night tea and reading. Plus, Fort Greene Park is right nearby — perfect for morning walks.

Perfect

Fort Greene House feels modern and fresh! The hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances give it such a sleek vibe. Plus, the common areas are bright and inviting. I've been really happy with my stay here—it's been a comfortable and enjoyable experience!

A Great Short Stay!

Fort Greene House has been a solid option for me. I work long hours, so I needed a quiet place to come back to, and this neighborhood fits the bill. The area feels safe, and the apartment has all the basic amenities. I wasn’t a fan of the check-in process — it took longer than expected to get my keys, but once I was settled in, everything went smoothly. The roommates are cool, and there’s plenty to do nearby on weekends. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a more laid-back Brooklyn experience.

Nice Place, But Full Price is High

I chose this apartment for a short-term lease because of a special promotion. It’s a really nice space, but the regular rate is much higher than I’d like for long-term living. The fact that it’s furnished and cleaned monthly is a nice bonus.
