People are so negative sometimes. Can you? Yes. Will it be easy? Maybe. It depends. If you're willing to pay a brokers fee and are good at the apartment hunt game you definitely can. Without the brokers fee it will be MUCH harder.
I had a huge one bedroom in Clinton Hill (true Clinton Hill, not Bed Stuy) for $1295 that I lived in for a couple of years. It was rent controlled. That's the key is to find something like that. I paid a one month brokers fee for it.
If Fort Greene is close to Manhattan, so is Prospect Heights, which borders Fort Greene and is a relatively small neighborhood, geographically. From most of Prospect Heights, a subway ride into Manhattan is 10 minutes or less away. I consider that to be "close" to Manhattan.
Now, some people will call that address Crown Heights, but it's Prospect Heights to me as I consider Classon Avenue to be the border of the neighborhood; the folks who built and named Prospect Heights High School, which is on Classon Avenue, certainly considered that street to be in Prospect Heights. Ultimately, though, even if you consider that address to be Crown Heights, it would be right on the Prospect Heights border and command Prospect Heights prices/have Prospect Heights access to Manhattan.

Agreeing on all points. From that address on Classon, walk one block west and you're at Washington Ave., the official border street between Crown Heights and Prospect Heights. I wouldn't hesitate to look at a decent-sounding apartment within my budget right there.
You can probably get a studio for that much in Clinton Hill or Bedstuy.
