"Clinton Hill - A Reminder of Olde Brooklyn"
Clinton HIll, ah, what a destination! With its grand, late 1900 brownstones and townhouses, and brilliant mansions on Clinton Avenue, this neighborhood is great. It is hip, but not a hipster mall in the same sense Williamsburg is. It has a strong sense of community without having the overbearing structure of Park Slope. It's close to, even bordering Bedford-Stuyvesant, but its overall feeling is much more different. If I could compare it to any Brooklyn neighborhood other than it's sister, Fort Greene, Boerum Hill would seem like the obvious choice.
Pros
- Hip, while being developed
- Architecture - Stunning
- close to Pratt
- cool nearby bar scene
- Growth of trendy shops & restaurants
Cons
- Mediocre schools
