Carroll Gardens

While boasting trendy bars, eateries, and shops, Carroll Gardens exudes its classic allure with elegant brownstones on tree-lined streets, historic churches, and traditional Italian bakeries dotting the neighborhood.

Nestled in southwest Brooklyn, Carroll Gardens is renowned for its Italian heritage, Carroll Gardens boasts authentic trattorias, cozy cafes, and specialty food shops that celebrate the neighborhood’s cultural heritage.

The neighborhood delineation gets tricky around the boundaries of Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill, so a nickname for the three neighborhoods is BoCoCa.
