Brooklyn renters increasingly interested in Fort Greene
In the fourth quarter, Fort Greene received 31 percent of inquiries from prospective renters, putting it second after Park Slope on the list of areas in Downtown Brooklyn attracting tenants, according to a report released today by Brooklyn-based residential and commercial firm Ideal Properties Group. In the third quarter, only 11 percent of prospective renters looked in Fort Greene. Sixty-two percent of people who looked at residential rental units in Downtown Brooklyn in the third quarter already live in Brooklyn. Of prospective Brooklyn renters, 12 percent lived in Manhattan and 18 percent were from outside of the state. The report defines Downtown Brooklyn as the area stretching from Park Slope to Brooklyn Heights, and also including Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights and Fort Greene. TRD

It's definitely my favorite neighborhood in brooklyn, but could use some more bars! The park, the restaurants, BAM, tons of diversity, all great.
Ignored comment.

Why did this catch your eye, nyc10022? Was it just a real estate thing that seemed post-worthy, or does it suggest something in particular about the market?
Just curious.
I haven't lived in Brooklyn for five or six years now, but Ft. Greene still seems way edgier to me than the Slope.
