Where is Carroll Gardens and is it part of South Brooklyn?

Carroll Gardens is in the western part of Brooklyn, bordered roughly by Cobble Hill and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to the north, the Gowanus Canal to the east, and Red Hook to the south. It is historically considered part of the area once broadly called South Brooklyn, a term for the older neighborhoods south of Downtown Brooklyn, though today it is known by its own name. It is served by the F and G subway lines and sits within easy reach of Manhattan.
