"Great Place to Live for Practically Anyone"
Carroll Gardens is a mixture of young and old, new brooklynites and veterans, and families and singles. It's a little quiter than other areas of Brooklyn like Fort Greene or Park Slope but close enough to restaurants and shops to feel connected. Prospect Park is close enough for a long walk or a quick bike ride. One of the best parts of Carroll Gardens is the proximity to Columbia St Waterfront and Red Hook. These areas have interesting events like Jazz Festivals, Ball Park Food Venders, Bluegrass Nights at bars, and glassblowing classes. PLUS Carroll Gardens has some of the best Italian Restaurants that I've ever been to.
