The truth: residents in this relaxed Brooklyn neighborhood have plenty of claim to their very own part of Brooklyn.

Our top Clinton Hill Moving Tips
Though it’s considered an extension of some other nearby areas, Clinton Hill does have some designated boundaries of its own. Starting at the top, you’ll find the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the north. East to west, it spans the distance between Classon Avenue and Vanderbilt Avenue. The neighborhood bottoms out at Atlantic Avenue. There, it shares a border with Prospect Heights. Fort Greene, Williamsburg, Crown Heights, and Bedford-Stuyvesant also surround the neighborhood.
For those who know, this area is quite a hip part of Brooklyn. However, there’s more to making the move to Clinton Hill than that. Here’s a few details to mull over about the area:
- Getting in and out of Clinton Hill. In terms of travel within and just outside of the NYC boroughs, you will be looking at between 30-60 minutes in transit. Of course, traffic will be the factor that changes your travel time. For instance, you can hop on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in your car and it’s just under 30 minutes to Times Square in Manhattan — if you don’t hit traffic. If you’re on public transit, that trip turns into about 35 minutes of passive commuting on the subway. Speaking of, the neighborhood is served by the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) A/C subway train to get to Manhattan. You can also use the G subway train, but really only to get to other Brooklyn locations. For other local public transit options, the MTA’s got the area covered with several local bus lines. Both buses and subways are economical ways of getting around too — with a one-way fare costing you about $2.75 right now. And, like other parts of the city, ride sharing and rentable Citibikes are also available.
- Housing costs. Previously, folks were moving to Clinton Hill to have Brooklyn address for less — particularly relative to the more expensive real estate in neighboring Fort Greene. That influx has changed the pricing of securing an address to now be about the same. That said, what you’ll be paying for is a diverse, family-friendly area with historic pre-Civil war houses, brownstones, mansions, apartment buildings, and brick rowhouses. So, what does it cost to make one your own? For those who are aiming to buy, a one-bedroom home can be around $735K but it can go all the way up to $2.2M for a four-bedroom place. Perhaps you’re in the market to rent. If so, the average rent of a one-bedroom apartment is about $3,100 per month, which is on par with desirable places to live in the city. Again, living here has a different flavor than other parts of NYC and even other neighborhoods in Brooklyn. So, the cost might work out in your favor if Clinton Hill has what you want in a place to call home.
- Dining out in Clinton Hill. Make your way to Myrtle and Dekalb Avenues to get a taste of what Clinton Hill has on the menu (though Green Ave, Grand Ave, and Fulton Street will have you finding delectable treats as well). What you’ll find is a diverse offering of cuisines from Middle Eastern, Mexican, Thai (Pad Thai cravings, anyone?), Italian, and American. Starting off with breakfast, you could make a stop at Choice Market for a classic NYC egg sandwich on a kaiser roll with a cafe americano. Or if the first meal of the day is a little later, perhaps a stop at Sisters for brunch is in order. For lunch or dinner, a must-stop for any fan of South Indian food is Dosa Royale for a sweet potato masala dosa (a crispy stuffed crepe-like dish). You can wash it all down at Mekelburg’s for a craft beer and fried babka poppers. And that’s just a taste of what’s cookin’ in Clinton Hill.
- Playgrounds and schools a-plenty. This area of Brooklyn is particularly understood to be family-friendly as it is home to a number of playgrounds. For instance, Underwood Park boasts a checkerboard lined playground surrounded by trees and benches. Greene Playground also houses handball and basketball courts where the whole family can have a ball. In addition to outdoor recreation opportunities, you may be looking into what educational options there are as well. There are a few public schools for your kiddos in the area, including PS 11 and PS 20 (which is actually in nearby Fort Greene even though Clinton Hill is within its zoning district), though much of the neighborhood’s educational needs are filled by local charter schools. Teacher to student ratio in this neighborhood is typically between 13 to 21 students per teacher.
