185 Clinton Ave

A mid-century brick cooperative complex built in 1944, this 14-story, 56-unit property occupies a block in Clinton Hill near Fort Greene. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, many converted or reworked over time to include alcoves, dens and flexible dining areas. Interiors commonly feature original parquet or oak floors, crown moldings, built-in storage and windowed kitchens; several apartments have been fully renovated with modern cabinetry, stainless appliances and marble or tile baths. The building offers elevator service, an entrance foyer, in‑building laundry, bicycle storage, package room and on-site maintenance with 24‑hour guard security. Shared exterior spaces include a landscaped courtyard and garden plots, plus individual outdoor terraces or modest private balconies on select homes. Building policies are co-op style: pet-friendly, smoke-free, pied-à-terre permitted, subletting allowed after owner occupancy requirements, and financing options that have included low-down offerings. The location is deeply walkable — blocks from Fort Greene Park, BAM, Pratt Institute, Atlantic Terminal/Barclays Center and multiple subway lines (G, C and nearby transit hubs) — placing cultural venues, markets and neighborhood restaurants within easy reach and supporting a largely urban, amenity-rich lifestyle.
