COBBLE HILL — Cobble Hill is a lot bigger than you might think, according to some locals.

DNAinfo released the results of its neighborhood lines maps, where more than 200 residents drew the borders of Cobble Hill. 

Most agreed on a core area that belonged to Cobble Hill — from Atlantic Avenue to Degraw Street and Court to Hicks streets.

But some newer residents, who've lived in the neighborhood for less than five years, extended Cobble Hill's borders include the Columbia Street Waterfront District — a neighborhood in itself.

More than 100 readers, particularly less than 10-year residents of the area, also believe Cobble Hill ends at Smith Street rather than Court Street. 

Take a look at the map below to see Cobble Hill's lines drawn by readers. And if you haven't entered your own borders into the map, head here.
