I moved to Cobble Hill in 1988 and fell in love with the area. It was a great place to raise my three kids and be active in the public school system. The people I have met here and the friends I have made are so special.

Audrey Ripka, Real Estate Agent

Nothing compares to the family-friendly vibe of Cobble Hill and the surrounding neighborhoods. You can walk down the street once and have met five people and know their entire story.

At Cobble Hill Park you’ll find residents walking their dogs and kids playing in the sandbox. It’s a great spot to meet new people or gather with friends.

While not technically in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Bridge Park is directly adjacent to the neighborhood and a great place to go for a run or a bike ride.

Richard Nalley, Real Estate Agent

Bicycle riding and jogging are easy as we are less than two miles from Prospect Park. I never tire of walking along the picturesque blocks and admiring the homes.
