Bordered by Atlantic Avenue on the north and Degraw Street to the south,
Cobble Hill sits adjacent to Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights - only
a ten minute subway ride to Manhattan. Family-run shops are Cobble Hill's
biggest attraction, Italian meat markets and old time barber shops mixing
with trendy new restaurants. Back out on Atlantic Avenue you'll discover
a Middle East bazaar of specialty stores and restaurants! Cobble Hill
is renowned for its private brownstone residences and brick row houses.
Great schools (both public and private) make Cobble Hill the ideal choice
for young families.
And not to forget the distinct neighborhood of Columbia Street Water
Front District which extends from Atlantic Avenue to Hamilton Avenue,
a block or so west of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Once a bustling
district of waterfront establishments, Columbia Street is currently
undergoing a revival, a pocket of restaurants, bakeries and bistros
doing quite nicely just off Degraw Street. Around the corner on Union
Street you'll find a vibrant Brooklyn - where it's been, and where it's
heading - newer shops side by side with century old businesses, many
run by second and third generation family members.
