Carroll Gardens

Brooklyn

Originally a private garden when purchased in 1853, Carroll Gardens maintains an intimate nature and old-world charm. And it has some serious curb appeal – homes here are set farther back from the street than is common for Brooklyn as such the larger front gardens have become an iconic representation of this neighborhood. While strolling the streets, delight in small bakeries and butcher shops, or check out the playgrounds in Carroll Park. Pedestrian-friendly Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill, bordered just to the north, offer more slow-paced recreation.
