Cobble Hill rests within a romanticized corner of northwest Brooklyn that feels pulled from a storybook. It’s the vintage feel of Brooklyn Heights and the calm airiness of Carroll Gardens, wrapped in an attractive Boerum Hill-sized package. The area’s historic district was designated in 1969 — the second such area landmarked in Brooklyn — containing the kind of darling 19th-century brownstone synonymous with the borough’s architecture. Elsewhere, houses of worship designed by famed ecclesiastical architects Richard Upjohn and Minard Lefever add an aura of grandness to the surrounding environment. Stunning historic buildings aren't the only part of Cobble Hill's package deal: You'll also get ample green space, hidden alleys, and exciting eateries — all along charmingly leafy streets.
