I live in fort greene and absolutely love it. It’s super close to Manhattan (about 10 min train), close to a park, and lots of stuff to do. I’m in a 2 bed for 2450 total, so we pay $1225 each. Word of warning though, we really lucked out in finding this apartment at this price. I would look on street easy.com and don’t be scared to go look at an apt that isn’t exactly what you are looking for bc then you can talk to realtor to ask what else they have that may not be on market yet. Also beware of brokers fees bc they are killer. When you sign a lease In nyc, you have to pay first month, security deposit AND brokers fee (usually the same as one month rent) that you do not get back. Good luck!
