Vanderbilt Avenue

Vanderbilt Avenue's south terminus is located at Grand Army Plaza. The avenue carries traffic north and south between Grand Army Plaza and The Brooklyn Navy Yard, its northern terminus. Vanderbilt serves the neighborhoods of Fort Greene and Prospect Heights. Unlike other avenues that serve multiple neighborhoods, the communities on Vanderbilt are well-maintained, inviting areas of commerce and residency--the one exception being the three-block area between Dean Street and Fulton Street, which is somewhat derelict. This three-block area is characterized by a gas station, a McDonald's restaurant, an automotive shop and a large, looming gray building that overshadows the entire block between Atlantic Avenue and Fulton Street. The avenue is named for the Vanderbilt family, which made its fortune in the shipping industry and was headed by Cornelius Vanderbilt. Landmarks along Vanderbilt Avenue include the old Public School 9 building at the corner of Sterling Place, and Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School at Greene Avenue.
