Stroll through cobblestone streets while admiring Cobble Hill’s historic charm

Urban • Riverfront • Walkable • Mass Transit • Historic •

Historic cobblestone streets, 19th century architecture, and longstanding brownstones define Cobble Hill, one of Brooklyn’s oldest neighborhoods. This diverse urban oasis offers local shops and restaurants that are worth a try (or two). Test your palate at Yemen Café or try some Spanish tapas at La Vara!

Cobble Hill is near numerous subway and public bus stations, as well as being situated along I-278. Visiting neighboring areas or commuting for work from Cobble Hill is as easy as pie. Community parks, playgrounds, and off-leash dog parks are commonplace in this bustling urban neighborhood. Kids play at Cobble Hill Park, residents relax under the shade of towering trees in the center of town, and dogs run about through the quaint green space off of Hicks Street in the northwest corner of the neighborhood.

Upscale apartments and condos make up this affluent neighborhood. Though rent tends to be pricey, Cobble Hill’s riverfront location, scenic views of Manhattan’s skyline, family-friendly atmosphere, and premier location in the bustling borough of Brooklyn are quite alluring. But you’ll just have to see what all the talk is about for yourself!

I've lived in Cobble Hill off and one for the past 15 years. We recently purchased another townhome to restore my in 2018 (top of the market). Unfortunately COVId and the way the economy was on the downhill before the virus has made it very difficult for my tenants (who all make $200k or more in salary) pay their rent. New York has become a little too much of an advocate for the tenant. It's wiping away our neighborhood. I work for a real estate analytics group and I fear this area will price people out. Too bad, it's a grew real family neighborhood.
