10 Clermont Avenue #1L

Two-bedroom in Fort Greene, $2,427/month ($1,213 per person)

Whether or not you have a thing for sailors, there’s no doubt that living across from the Brooklyn Navy Yard is a prime location. Not only does it boast awesome views of Manhattan and the East River, but you’re just two blocks from Fort Greene Park and its playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts and picnic areas. During the colder months, you can hit up the wealth of cultural offerings (BAM, BRIC, Pratt Institute) and restaurants in the area. In fact, the listing helpfully suggests you “catch an indie rock concert at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple” or “meet your friends for mimosas and bistro-style brunch at Chez Oskar.” Hopefully the agent doesn’t charge a broker’s fee for great date night recommendations!
