Thinking of moving to Cobble Hill (Hope: best neighborhood, apartments, rental)

[racerx2000x]

I'm thinking of moving to cobble hill in bklyn. How is the neighborhood? Is transportation to the city convenient? Any ideas on how much a 1 br apt would cost in that area?

Thanks!

One of my favorite parts of Brooklyn. Expensive however, I would think most 1BR apts are 2K and over.

BEAUTIFUL area. Really nice, safe, upscale part of Brooklyn. Expensive though. You can check out streeteasy for some rental ideas.

Cobble Hill is lovely and convenient. Friends bought in decades ago when it was the poor sister of Brooklyn Heights. No more!

If you can afford it, go for it.

IMO The best neighborhood in all of Brooklyn, expensive, but great never the less.

thumbs up !

I checked out the neighborhood today, and i love it. Hope my GF if she likes this roomy 1br place im checking out. Its about $1,500.

A "roomy 1 br" for $1500 does not exist in Cobblle Hill.

Perhaps you have the neighborhood confused or the apt is not actually in Cobble Hill.

I agree.The apartment was probably advertised as Cobble Hill but it is probably not.I don't think there are any decent 1,500/mo 1 br apartments in Cobble Hill.

Can you give us the intersection?

Read this glowing description of the neighborhood on About.com.

The entry states the going rate for one-bedroom apartments at $1800-2200. However, you never know. You might find a good deal. Maybe a studio will do?
