Welcome To

Boerum Hill / Cobble Hill / Carroll Gardens (BoCoCa)

Across all three neighborhoods, charming brownstones reign supreme.

Welcome to BoCoCa

A trio of picturesque neighborhoods near Brooklyn Heights
 
BoCoCa - Bo(Boerum Hill) Co(Cobble Hill) Ca(Carrol Hardens) combines the names of three distinct adjacent Brooklyn neighborhoods, each with its own personality and offerings: Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens. 
 
Boerum Hill has a quaint, old-world feel steeped in history and full of long-standing neighborhood staples. Charming Cobble Hill is the best of vintage Brooklyn mixed with present-day amenities. Finally, Carroll Gardens is a serene, quiet neighborhood full of cozy boutiques and upscale eateries.
 
BoCoCa began as farmland and was developed into residential areas as European immigrants made their way to New York throughout the 19th century. Though they could have easily been folded into the surrounding communities, all three neighborhoods established their own strong identities throughout the early 20th century. Young professionals looking for an easy commute to Manhattan and families looking for a more lively alternative to the suburbs made BoCoCa their home and have helped restore the historic buildings and create the thriving community that is here today.
 
Across all three neighborhoods, charming brownstones reign supreme. Those looking for new construction and luxury condos can find them in Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, while Boerum Hill has a more spacious market with many stunning brick townhomes. No matter which neighborhood you choose, there is a home waiting here for you.
