Clinton Hill

Clinton Hill borders many other popular Brooklyn neighborhoods including Williamsburg and Forte Green. Since a large part of the area is in a historic district, it is a neighborhood that prides itself on its brownstone and tree lined blocks, and boasts a great nearby escape from the bustle of Manhattan. While it is certainly considered an artsy and trendy neighborhood, it is also popularly described as laid back and approachable. This is due in great part to the fact that Clinton Hill is home to an ever expanding Pratt Institute, which has served as an artistic anchor for the neighborhood.
