It seems all of these projects turning into rentals will add more and more young people to Fort Greene. I was shocked (without reason…am just living in the past), last night when I braved the subway from Manhattan rather late for me. I guess I arrived at Atlantic Avenue at about 11PM.
I thought I would have to “be nervous” walking up Hanson into the neighborhood as though we were living in the old days. Meanwhile, I am always surprised at how I am repeatedly surprised at the nightlife around Fort Greene. I just can’t get it into my thick skull that the shift has been seemingly “tectonic”. So, there were people all over the place, teenagers through younger adults. I had to be the oldest person around. So much activity. Kids hanging out in the last gasps of summer before school begins and a big cluster of activity of young adults at the new Schwarz’ Koelner, Sushi One, No. 7, etc.
I’m wondering what will happen as these big and bigger condo towers/developments start renting. I have a feeling the influx of people will be huge.
BrooklynFamily, sorry to hear you’re leaving but I can understand the amenities vs cost. I guess your work/commute won’t be bad. Best of luck!
David, are you thinking of moving into Fort Greene any time soon? I think you’d like it.
> Hybrid??? How about failed condo?
Hybrid is just a rest stop on the road to Nondo.

Thanks, brickoven. I am a little sad to leave Ft Greene, but not so sad when I think about our new 1300 sf apartment with access to gym, pool, etc., for under $2k. 🙂
Goodluck brooklynfamily, I am on a 4 month vacation from the city right now and its been eye opening. Anyway I smell an apt. glut in Brooklyn!
First they can’t sell these. Then they think they can get $2350 for a 1 bedroom.
They’ll have to throw in 3 free months before these will get rented.
I don’t think the building looks too bad (a bit hospital-ish), and I admit I am jealous of that courtyard… but the rents are way too steep.
It is kind of funny how on the Streeteasy site you can see how it is right outside of the Ft Greene historic district…
Anyhow, I am leaving Brooklyn for greener pastures (and a huge apartment with tons of amenities for less rent than I am paying now) in NJ. I imagine I will remain addicted to reading about the neighborhood on Brownstoner, though.
Okay, I guess those are nicer than my apartment, but I’m not sure they are a $1k more a month nicer. Little bit of a hike to the trains vs. convenient to Myrtle amenities — I think those rental prices seem kinda high.
