Q2 Townhouse Closings
Fort Greene, Clinton Hill & Prospect Heights
Q2 2026 Update · Updated October 2026
What the Q2 numbers say
Fort Greene townhouses remain tightly held. Across Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights, only 20 townhouses closed in the second quarter: 7 single-family and 13 multi-family. With so few sales, one or two large houses can move the numbers, so the trend matters more than any single figure.
The trend is firm. Single-family houses sold at a median of $3.800M, up 1% from a year ago, and the average sale was a large 4,149 square feet. Two- to four-family houses were the standout: the median rose 22% to $3.650M, and price per square foot rose 8% to $1,154.
Multi-family sales fell 32% from a year ago while their prices climbed. That is what limited supply looks like. Owners of well-kept Fort Greene brownstones are selling into a market with few alternatives for buyers.
Market Overview
The Fort Greene Brownstones Market
Fort Greene's landmark district combines architectural quality with cultural proximity — the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Fort Greene Park, and a deeply rooted community create demand stability that has served sellers well through multiple market cycles. Properties on the most intact landmarked blocks attract buyers who are specifically seeking this combination.
What's Moving
What Sells Quickly
Italianate and Queen Anne brownstones on the landmarked blocks with intact original detail achieve the strongest prices. Proximity to Fort Greene Park and BAM matters to the buyers this neighborhood attracts. Single-family and owner-occupied two-family properties dominate the buyer interest.
What Sits
Properties with significant deferred maintenance or compromised architectural integrity face buyer skepticism. Fort Greene buyers are architectural buyers — they know what original detail looks like and they discount properties where it has been removed or damaged.

Value Drivers
What Affects Fort Greene Prices
Landmark District Status
Properties within the Fort Greene Historic District benefit from designation premiums. The most intact blocks command the strongest values.
Park Proximity
Fort Greene Park proximity adds meaningful premium, similar to the Prospect Park premium in Park Slope.
Original Detail
Cornices, stoops, parlor floors, and brownstone facades in original condition command premiums over comparable properties where detail has been removed.
Configuration
Single-family and owner-occupied two-family properties attract the broadest, most competitive buyer pools.
