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.

i just want to see some tourist read this, head to court street and start heading east.
where “noise and fuss gives way to peaceful little streets” – of the gowanus houses.
Wait, wait … there are hipsters and babies in an expensive Brooklyn neighborhood? Who would’ve thought?
Also, seriously, enough with calling all young people hipsters. Having shaggy hair and an ipod does not a hipster make.
Expecting journalists and brokers to get those details correct is expecting way too much.
Pretty certain they mean WEST of Court Street.
fjorder – 2 verandah place is just finishing a gut reno, was vacant for years. looks like condo or co-op as well, as the buzzer has three buttons on it. may come on the market fairly soon i’m guessing, so if you’re serious stay on the lookout for it. they still need to finish the exterior though.. they’ve been working on it since before the summer.
i think brownstoner may have noted the sale a while back if i remember correctly.
Pic looks like Verandah Place; love to have my family in one of those homes.
they need a compass

pretty sure they mean west of court.

cobble hill is tiny. so this comment makes no sense.
Hipster and stroller baiting to drive up traffic. Shameful. LOL
