Cobble Hill is the definition of quaint - corner cafes, mom-and-pop shops, stoops, fire escapes, street-side flower shops, and Italian meat markets define the streetscape. Located north of Brooklyn Heights and south of Carroll Gardens along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, Cobble Hill was originally settled in the 1640s by Dutch farmers and used as a fort during the American War of Independence and the War of 1812. Today it serves as a trendy middle ground between the quiet of Carroll Gardens and the faster pace of Brooklyn Heights. To explore Cobble Hill real estate, call (718) 666-2696.
