AMNY Does Cobble Hill
Cobble Hill: full of “yoga-glow moms pushing expensive baby strollers” and “wine bars, stylish boutiques and gift shops.” That’s part of the round-up of the nabe, courtesy of AMNY, which finds similarities between Cobble Hill and its Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill neighbors.

Cobble Hill: full of “yoga-glow moms pushing expensive baby strollers” and “wine bars, stylish boutiques and gift shops.” That’s part of the round-up of the nabe, courtesy of AMNY, which finds similarities between Cobble Hill and its Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill neighbors. So what’s different about it? “Cobble Hill is smaller and more intimate, especially east of Court Street where the noise and fuss gives way to peaceful little streets, gardens with wrought-iron fences and pre-Civil War era townhouses,” they write. They report a happy mix: old-school Italians residents; the Middle Easterners along Atlantic; an infusion of young hipster types, all peacefully coexisting in this pocket of the world. Sure, there are hipsters, but it’s not Williamsburg, said one resident. And too many strollers but it’s not Park Slope, either.

“Cobble Hill is frightfully dull.”
Oy. I can’t believe those words fell out of your mouth.
Gee, mopar, thanks. And precisely what kind of ‘excitement’ were you looking for?
It’s a pretty damn nice place to live. And, news flash, we have transportation to and from ‘exciting places’.
“Frightfully dull.” I’m choking on my tea and crumpets with laughter.
Some of us on this blog do live there. What exactly is dull about it?
Brown Harris has a Verandah listing that they’ve been working on for a while. Think it’s under 3mm now…
actually i find something intriguing about boring and dull places.
however I cant really afford anything in cobble hill so it doesnt really matter.
Cobble Hill is frightfully dull. Do people on this blog aspire to live there?
someone was living in that?? really??
windows were always broken etc. wow.
well anyway.. there are 3 buzzers on it for sure. so maybe they will rent out a unit or 2?
RobertMosesJr….it’s #4 that’s been renovated and I believe it’s staying in the family….bummer. I had dibs. And someone was actually living in it until it was sold. It just looked vacant, and haunted.
Yes and they do mean west but at least they acknowledge that Cobble Hill crosses Court Street. In my mind Cobble Hill includes the blocks south of Degraw between Smith & Court Streets at least as far north as Warren.
