The '''Marcy Houses''' are a [[Public housing in the United States and Canada|public housing project]] at the crossroads of the [[Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn|Bedford-Stuyvesant]], [[Fort Greene, Brooklyn|Fort Greene]], [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]], and the [[Clinton Hill, Brooklyn|Clinton Hill]] sections of [[Brooklyn]] in [[New York City]]. The project consists of 27 six-story buildings on 28.49-acres with 1,705 apartments housing some 4,286 residents. Completed on January 19, 1949, it is bordered by Flushing, Marcy, Nostrand and Myrtle Avenues. The area was once considered one of the rougher parts of New York City, but is now considered by many to be an "up and coming" neighborhood with a wide array of people who live around there.

Music artists to come out of Marcy include Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek and Sauce Money
