Cobble Hill

Steeped in history, Cobble Hill is known for its quaint, shaded streets, grand brownstones and townhouses, sweeping city views, and vibrant mix of independent boutiques, cozy cafes and local restaurants—creating a neighborhood that is both timeless and lively. Much of the neighborhood lies within the Cobble Hill Historic District, home to beautifully preserved 19th century residences.

Bordering Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill may be small, but it’s rich in culture. Notable landmarks include the childhood home of Winston Churchill’s mother (197 Amity Street), the Workingman’s Cottages, now luxury residences (Warren Place) and the nearby Romanesque Baltic Towers, now condominiums (417-435 and 439-45 Hicks Street).

Main commercial corridors like Atlantic Avenue, Court Street and Smith Street, and side streets alike blend long-established businesses—like meat markets, bakeries and barbershops—with newer boutiques, diverse eateries and entertainment options like Cobble Hill Cinemas.

Cobble Hill Park, nestled by the charming Verandah Place, provides green space for locals, while nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park offers even more opportunities for outdoor enjoyment with waterfront views of the city.

Since 1958, the non-profit, volunteer-run Cobble Hill Association has helped to preserve, protect and enhance quality of life in the neighborhood.

Transportation is convenient with the F and G subway lines at Bergen Street, buses along Atlantic Avenue and Court Street, and ferry service to Wall Street from Brooklyn Bridge Park.
