Cobble Hill, Brooklyn: A Village-Like Vibe With Towering Prices

As towers join church spires in piercing the sky, there is a sense that the rest of Brooklyn is encroaching on Cobble Hill. But the neighborhood remains lively as well as lyrical, with its handsome townhouse rows and insistent greenery.

Ms. Breedlove stressed the importance of preserving the sidewalk culture. "It used to be a stoop culture, but people don't necessarily sit on stoops anymore," she said. "They do walk on the sidewalk and talk to each other every day."

Never-Before-Seen NASA Photos Join The Latest Trends in High-End Amenities

It is getting harder for developers to come up with new ideas for amenities to attract residents to luxury buildings. From roof top decks to spas, everything's been done (or so it seems).

The building is one of five components that make up the Fortis Property Group- developed project and is the first new construction to rise within the development.

Views of the B.Q.E. and Beyond

With the windows open at the Cobble Hill House, the sound of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, which the new condo building overlooks, is — delicately put — a constant roar.

But close the triple-glazed, parlor-style windows and the condo units at 78 Amity Street, at the corner of Hicks Street, transform into quiet, light-filled spacious homes with fantastic East River views, just beyond the expressway.
