Well, I’ve lived in Clinton Hill for seven years now, and when I ask the old timers, people who have Big Question Marklived in Clinton Hill for 25 years or more, they all tell me that the borders of Clinton Hill are Park Avenue to the North, Atlantic Avenue to the south, Vanderbilt Avenue to the west and Classon Avenue to the East. 

Of course if you ask some of my fellow realtors, they will probably tell you a different story.  They will often move boundries around so that they can advertise that a property they are selling is in a “hot neighborhood” even if its not.  Let the buyer beware.

Regarding the news story I talked about earlier, the corner of Franklin and Lafayette Avenues is in Bedford Stuyvesant, not Clinton Hill.
