Influence
Rotterdam Hill appears to be mainly derived from Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood in size (Clinton Hill is also a relatively small neighborhood), name (both reference a topographic peak), and character (trendy neighborhoods, many brownstones). However, it also may have been influenced by Brooklyn Heights as well, specifically in reference to Rotterdam Hill's promenade, located along the northwest corner of the neighborhood (above the Brunner Street Tunnel). The promenade, situated along the edge of the bluff separating western Broker from the rest of the borough, offers great, unobstructed views of the Algonquin skyline to the west and is a popular destination for local residents. It could also be influenced by Boerum Hill Boerum and Cobble Hill, Brooklyn being that they have the same names so the neighborhood might just be based off of the whole downtown Brooklyn being that Downtown is nearby.
