Fort Hamilton is a quiet waterfront corner of Brooklyn
Fort Hamilton sits at the southwestern tip of Brooklyn, where the borough runs out of land and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge arcs over the Narrows toward Staten Island. The neighborhood is named after U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton, though most residents live off-base on quiet streets across the Gowanus Expressway. Waterfront green space is the main draw here, with Shore Road Park and the promenade offering views that are hard to find anywhere else in the borough. The subway connects you to Manhattan, and the shops and restaurants of neighboring Bay Ridge are a short walk away.
Fort Hamilton residents have panoramic views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

Types of homes for sale in Fort Hamilton and what they cost
Co-ops are the norm in Fort Hamilton, mostly in brick postwar buildings along Shore Road, Fourth Avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway. Condos are less common and tend to cost more. Pockets of single-family and multifamily homes are spread throughout the neighborhood, from detached Craftsman-, Colonial Revival- and Dutch Colonial-style homes to brick rowhouses and semi-detached two-family properties. “People come here because they don't want to sacrifice the suburban appeal of tree-lined streets, the waterfront and a well-kept neighborhood,” says Susan Chung, an associate real estate broker at Compass who's lived in the area for over 15 years. When it comes to price ranges, you’ll typically see:
Co-ops from the upper $100,000s to the lower $700,000s
Condos from the mid-$600,000s to around $1.4 million
Single-family homes from the upper $800,000s to around $1.8 million
Multifamily homes from around $1.1 million to $1.8 million
Fort Hamilton’s median sale price is in the lower $500,000s, less than in nearby Sunset Park and Greenwood Heights. “People tend to settle here,” Chung says. “It’s really good bang for your buck. You’ll get a lot of space for a lot less money than in northern Brooklyn, and typically any other waterfront area is going to be astronomical in pricing.”
Brick residential buildings line Shore Road.
Dutch Colonial-style houses are part of the neighborhood's older housing stock.

Waterfront parks and views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
The best green space in Fort Hamilton borders the water. Shore Road Park and the Shore Parkway promenade trace the Narrows, with ballfields, basketball courts, playgrounds and a dog run. Bikers, joggers and dog walkers all share the promenade, which offers views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Down at the southern edge sits John Paul Jones Park, though nobody calls it that. It's better known as Cannonball Park, named for the Civil War-era cannon and the stacks of cannonballs you’ll see on its lawn. John J. Carty Park is another local favorite, with tennis, pickleball and handball courts right by the bridge.
Getting around Fort Hamilton and commuting to Manhattan
The Bay Ridge-95th Street station is the last stop on the R. The subway gets you to the Financial District in roughly 35 minutes and to Midtown in about an hour. Commuters can also take the X27 or X37 express buses into Manhattan. Local bus routes make it easier to get around the borough, while the Gowanus Expressway, the Belt Parkway and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge give drivers a quick way out of Brooklyn. NYC Ferry is another option, with service to Manhattan from the Bay Ridge landing at 69th Street Pier.

Where to get groceries, eat and drink in the neighborhood
Fort Hamilton is quieter than many New York City neighborhoods, but it still has a local shopping and dining scene along Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues. "It has typical city perks like great restaurants, cafes and 24-hour convenience stores," Chung says. "Everything you need is within walking distance, but you can always hop over to the city." Met Fresh, Brooklyn Harvest Market and Uncle Steve's Marketplace handle groceries. Exploring the food scene, you can:
Pick up baked goods at Pasticceria Rocco or Paneantico Bakery Cafe
Sit down for Italian food at Positano or Campania
Grab a slice at Pizza Wagon or Espresso Pizzeria

Head to old-school steakhouses like Chadwick’s or Malone’s Chop House
