# Is Carroll Gardens a good neighborhood for families?

Carroll Gardens is one of the strongest family neighborhoods in South Brooklyn. The combination of brownstone housing with real space, the front-garden character that creates a stoop culture, family-oriented restaurants and shops along Court and Smith Streets, and proximity to good schools makes it a magnet for families with young children. Pricing is below Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights for comparable square footage, which adds value. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696 for current Carroll Gardens inventory.
