The market
What do apartments in Clinton Hill rent for?
The all-units median asking rent in Clinton Hill was $4,400 in August 2026, up 10% from a year earlier, the largest rise of the seven neighborhoods. One-bedrooms asked $3,950, up 5% from a year before, and two-bedrooms $5,450, up 5% from a year before.
Only 296 rentals were listed, down 22% from a year earlier. A rising median on a thin supply is a good market for an owner, and also one where an asking rent set from last year's numbers can leave money on the table.

On the ground
What do renters in Clinton Hill look for?
Clinton Hill mixes brownstones and rowhouses with the nineteenth-century mansions along Clinton and Washington Avenues and a number of prewar apartment buildings, much of it inside the Clinton Hill Historic District. Pratt Institute sits at its center. Renters are also choosing the neighborhood, with restaurants and cafes along Myrtle Avenue and Fulton Street and Fort Greene Park a short walk away.
The prewar details that the housing stock is known for, such as original moldings, fireplaces and tall windows, are what a Clinton Hill listing should lead with. They are also what renters compare, so an apartment that has them should show them in the first photographs rather than the last.
Straight answers
Clinton Hill owner questions, answered directly
Are rents going up in Clinton Hill?
Yes, faster than in any of the other six Brooklyn neighborhoods we lease in. The all-units median asking rent was $4,400 in August 2026, up 10% from a year earlier.
How many apartments are for rent in Clinton Hill?
296 rentals were listed on StreetEasy in August 2026, down 22% from a year earlier. With so few units available, each one is compared closely, which is why pricing it against what has actually signed nearby matters.
Should I still price a Clinton Hill unit off last year's rent?
Not without checking. The median asking rent is up 10% from a year earlier, faster than in any of the seven neighborhoods we lease in, so a rent carried over from the last lease can sit well below what comparable units are signing for now.
