Highlights
Cobble Hill is the slightly more affordable neighbor to Brooklyn Heights. It has the brownstones and tree-lined streets you'll often find in Brooklyn, but it's also got a bit more flavor.

Cobble Hill stretches roughly from Atlantic Avenue to Degraw Street and from Hicks Street to Smith Street.
