With bustling flea markets, a world-renowned performance space, trendy boutiques, fabulous restaurants, and a rich literary and artistic tradition, Fort Greene attracts residents looking for a slower pace of living without sacrificing the vibrancy of urban life. Historic brownstones and row houses make up most of the available real estate, and it's common to find neighbors catching up on their stoops. Intense Brooklyn pride is in evidence on the main drag of Fulton Street, where a Notorious B.I.G. quote is painted on the side of a prominent building - "Spread love it's the Brooklyn way."
