A growing neighborhood surrounded by culture
Not long ago, Clinton Hill was considered an extension of Bedford-Stuyvesant—Bed-Stuy to locals. “Today, it’s the sister neighborhood to Fort Greene,” says Elizabeth Stile, broker of record at Stile Real Estate and Clinton Hill resident since 1984. Still, the neighborhood has an identity of its own. A wide variety of well-maintained homes has made the area a poster child of New York City’s prewar architecture. Beloved craft eateries and chill bars dot tree-lined blocks, while Pratt Institute’s students bring a creative, youthful energy to the neighborhood. Two of Brooklyn’s most popular parks, Prospect Park and Fort Greene Park, are within walking distance, as are cultural institutions like the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Barclays Center.

Diverse architecture and limited new development
It’s not uncommon to see Italianate brownstones, Greek Revival rowhouses and converted carriage houses along the same street. Preserved, single-family mansions dating back to the 1800s come in a variety of styles with Victorian, Renaissance, Romanesque and Beaux-Arts facades. Grandiose, Gothic Revival churches anchor the area. New condominiums sit along the edges, as Clinton Hill’s historic district prevents new development at the center. Homebuyers see the neighborhood as a place they can grow. “Young people have started to move here and as they get older, they marry and start families, but they choose to stay,” Stile says. “Prices have risen lately, but there’s a good selection on the market.” A multifamily townhouse with parquet floors and original fireplaces ranges from $1.5 million to $3.5 million and large condos and co-ops can sell for as high as $1.8 million. Renovated one-bedroom condos start at $600,000 and older one-bedroom co-ops start at $400,000.
Victorian brownstone townhomes are popular in Clinton Hill.

A vibrant culinary scene, from breakfast to night caps
Clinton Hill’s restaurants reflect the sort of laid-back excellence typical of the neighborhood. "If you go out on a Wednesday or Thursday night, it’s bustling, especially when people are dining outside in the warmer months.” Stile says. New Yorkers rave about Emily Pizza, which started in Clinton Hill. Aita serves elegant Italian dishes in a cozy atmosphere, while Olea Mediterranean Taverna has a popular happy hour. Locals frequent Peck’s for their breakfast sandwiches and Mekelberg’s, a small market serving gourmet bar food in the back. The Good Batch is known for their cookies, and a line forms outside Otway Bakery daily for coffee and pastries. The nightlife scene is small but strong, with stylish jaunts like Baby Jane, Hops Hill and Mayflower. Two Key Food supermarkets flank the neighborhood.

Shaded streets with major parks nearby
Though the area is known for its oak- and maple-lined streets, residents venture just outside its borders for wide open spaces. Fort Greene Park has tennis courts and a weekly artisan’s bazaar and greenmarket, plus holiday events throughout the year. On the other side of the neighborhood, Prospect Park offers 528 acres of nature with lakes, wooded trails and bike paths. The nearby Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a landscaped oasis. “Also, the campus at Pratt Institute has a lovely outdoor sculpture garden that’s open to the public,” Stile says.
Fort Greene Park is a great green space for exercise.

This is wonderful area to live. The stores and location is great. I find the people are extremely friendly and very informative. You will get an overall great experience when you step out on Myrtle Avenue which reminds of Manhattan. It is a city within it self.

Clinton Hill is basically Prospect heights' twin brother. Also very liberal and activist. Great for college students and raising a family. Wouldn't say it's completely crime free like the Upper East Side or some of the wealthy Manhattan areas, but it's still very safe in my experience.
