Historic and beautiful, the affluent Carroll Gardens neighborhood is one of the priciest residential areas in Brooklyn. Named after one of the signers of the Declaration Of Independence, it is part of a stately collection of Brooklyn's hipest, classiest neighborhoods: Cobble Hill, Red Hook, and Brooklyn Heights. Influenced greatly by its historically Italian, Irish, and Norweigian inhabitants, the area is spotted with scenic parks and landmarks like Carroll Park and the marble-built St. Mary's Star Of The Sea Church.
