Location

\r\n

\r\n\r\nBattery Park City is bounded to the north by Chambers Street, to the east by West Street, to the South by \r\n\r\nPier A and to the west by the Hudson River.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nBattery Park City is a 90 acre planned community at the southwestern tip of Manhattan in New York City \r\n\r\nconsisting of roughly five major sections. Traveling north to south, the first neighborhood, the \"North \r\n\r\nResidential Neighborhood,\" consists of high-rise residential buildings, well-recognized W Hotel, prestigious \r\n\r\nStuyvesant High School, and a convenient shopping mall. \r\n

\r\nSouth of the World Financial Center lies the majority of Battery Park City's residential areas in three \r\n\r\nsections: \"Gateway Plaza,\" a high-rise building complex; the \"Rector Place Residential Neighborhood;\" and \r\n\r\nthe \"Battery Place Residential Neighborhood,\" mostly low-rise building complexes. These neighborhoods \r\n\r\ncontain most of the area's residential buildings, along with park space and various types of supporting \r\n\r\nbusinesses (supermarkets, restaurants, movie theatres). Construction of residential buildings began north of \r\n\r\nthe World Financial Center in the late 1990s.

\r\n Location\r\n

\r\nNeighborhood on the West Side of Manhattan, bounded to the south by West 14th Street and to the west by \r\n\r\nthe Hudson River. The northern and eastern boundaries are difficult to define but correspond roughly to 30th \r\n\r\nStreet and 6th Avenue. It comprehends Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Park, and the High Line. \r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nChelsea is one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in Manhattan and it has become a melting pot of many \r\n\r\ncultures in recent years. Most of Chelsea is still industrialized, and the old High Line follows the River all \r\n\r\nthrough with historical brownstones, some well over 150 years old, still being used. There are more than 30 \r\n\r\nart galleries that are home to modern art from upcoming artists and respected artists alike in the Chelsea \r\n\r\narea. \r\n

\r\nSixth Avenue was reborn as a shopper destination years ago when major retailers rediscovered the vast \r\n\r\ncommercial spaces that formerly housed Ladies Mile. It has been transformed into a new 24/7 community \r\n\r\nwith major new residential buildings and towers constructed. New development projects in Chelsea will \r\n\r\nchange the skyline of Manhattan in the near future.\r\n

\r\nLocation\r\n

\r\nChinatown is an expanding neighborhood. Currently, the approximate borders of Chinatown are: Delancey \r\n\r\nStreet in the North (bordering the East Village and SoHo sections of NYC), East Broadway in the East \r\n\r\n(stopping at the Williamsburg Bridge), Broadway in the West (encroaching the TriBeCa sections of NYC), \r\n\r\nChambers Street in the South (encroaching the City Hall area).\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nThe Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan is an ethnic enclave, similar to other Chinatown districts in \r\n\r\nAmerican cities. But unlike most other urban Chinatowns, Manhattan's Chinatown is both a residential area, \r\n\r\nas well as commercial area. \r\n

\r\nBesides the more than 200 Chinese restaurants, there are also some factories that concentrate on quick \r\n\r\nproduction for our fashion capital, NYC. The unique cultural experience brings many tourists into the area \r\n\r\nfor the authentic cuisine and the bargain shopping. The bargains extend from the street vendors to the real \r\n\r\nestate. Chinatown offers some of the most affordable buildings in Manhattan, and the choices are not just \r\n\r\nlimited to multi-tenant buildings. Some of the city's most creative developments are finding their way \r\n\r\ninto this neighborhood, located next to trendy Soho and\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nThe East Village has been the home of cultural icons and movements from the American gangster to the \r\n\r\nWarhol Superstars, folk music to punk rock, anti-folk to hip-hop, advanced education to organized activism, \r\n\r\nexperimental theater to the Beat Generation. It is recognized as a trendy neighborhood with its experimental \r\n\r\nmusic clubs and theaters, and cutting-edge fashion. \r\n

\r\nThis neighborhood reputedly contains the most varied assortment of ethnic restaurants in New York City, \r\n\r\nfrom the crush of Indian eateries on the south side of East Sixth Street (sometimes called \"Little Bombay\") to \r\n\r\nMcSorley's Old Ale House, a pub that seems unchanged since it first opened in 1854. Nearby, in what was \r\n\r\nonce the home of the Astor Library, the restored Public Theater has been the opening venue for many now-\r\n\r\nfamous plays. Many considers the East Village as one of the last “neighborhood” neighborhoods left \r\n\r\nbecause of it’s unique culture.\r\n

\r\nThe Financial District of New York City is a neighborhood on the southernmost section of the borough of \r\n\r\nManhattan which comprises the offices and headquarters of many of the city's major financial institutions, \r\n\r\nincluding the New York Stock Exchange. The Financial District's twisted streets, varying in both direction \r\n\r\nand width, occupy that part of Manhattan's tip originally laid out by early colonists, vividly recalling the \r\n\r\nirregular medieval street patterns of northern European settlements. It is this part of the \"toe\" of Lower \r\n\r\nManhattan, the original part that became the foundation for the slender skyscrapers built between the turn of \r\n\r\nthe century and the Great Depression. \r\n

\r\nPost 9/11, the area has seen a surge of new developments steadily advancing the goal of turning the \r\n\r\nFinancial District into a 24/7 community. Better access to the Financial District is a new downtown \r\n\r\ntransportation center centered on Fulton Street, a recent renovation that has attracted the attention of \r\n\r\nmany. The heart of the Financial District is often considered to be the corner of Wall Street and Broad \r\n\r\nStreet, both of which are contained entirely within the district.\r\n

\r\nNeighborhood in Manhattan, lying between Chelsea and Gramercy Park and bounded to the north by 23rd \r\n\r\nStreet, to the east by Park Avenue, to the south by 14th Street, and to the west by 6th Avenue. It \r\n\r\ncomprehends Madison Park, SoFi, and Union Square. \r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nNamed for the Flatiron Building on 23rd Street, the area was a flourishing commercial district during the late \r\n\r\n19th century and the early 20th century. It was known especially for an area of elegant hotels, shops, and \r\n\r\nrestaurants along Broadway between 14th and 23rd Streets, later called Ladies Mile (designated a Historic \r\n\r\nDistrict in 1989). The neighborhood became a popular place to live in the 1960s, when artists, especially \r\n\r\nphotographers, moved into its inexpensive lofts. \r\n

\r\nDuring the 1980s the Flatiron District acquired a reputation for its fashionable cafes, restaurants and \r\n\r\nnightclubs, its varied housing, and its thriving business center. Madison Square Park, a beautifully \r\n\r\nmaintained park with dog run, live performance, public art, and an old-fashioned shake and burger stand, is \r\n\r\nlocated in this district between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue. Madison Avenue actually begins in the \r\n\r\nFlatiron District at 23rd Street and runs north towards its famous Midtown section.\r\n

\r\nNeighborhood on the East Side of Manhattan, bounded to the north by 23rd Street, to the east by 3rd \r\n\r\nAvenue, to the south by 18th Street, and to the west by Park Avenue South. It comprehends Gramercy Park \r\n\r\nand Stuyvesant Square. \r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nThe Gramercy or \"Gramercy Park\" District has too often been thought to be simply a collection of 19th \r\n\r\ncentury houses surrounding a private park. In reality, it is part of a rich urban mixture of townhouses, \r\n\r\napartment, commercial, and institutional buildings, and great old trees, all reinforcing each other. Gramercy, \r\n\r\nparticularly the area immediately around Gramercy Park itself, is generally perceived to be a quiet area, \r\n\r\nsafer than many other parts of the city. \r\n

\r\nIf you have a key to Gramercy Park, it’s heaven. Otherwise, you’ll find contentment with great access to \r\n\r\nmidtown, the Park Avenue South restaurant scene, and stable real estate values. There are medium-size \r\n\r\nco-ops in both pre- and postwar flavors, as well as brownstones. New rental towers on 23rd Street continue \r\n\r\nthe area’s shift to younger residents. The retail strip along Third Avenue is also growing peppier, as delis \r\n\r\nhave given way to a bar scene.\r\n

\r\n\r\nDescription\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nGreenwich Village is generally known as an important landmark on the map of bohemian culture with the \r\n\r\nhistory of new movements and ideas, whether political, artistic, or cultural. This tradition as an enclave of \r\n\r\navant-garde and alternative culture was established by the beginning of the 20th century when small \r\n\r\npresses, art galleries, and experimental theater thrived. \r\n

\r\n \r\n\r\nManhattan's Greenwich Village offers visitors an escape from the city skyscrapers of formal grid structure \r\n\r\nthat dominates north of 14th Street into a realm of some small European city. Many streets are lined with \r\n\r\nshops and there are many independently owned stores and restaurants to discover. There are many secret \r\n\r\ncourtyards and small gardens nestled between townhouses in the residential blocks of Greenwich Village. \r\n\r\nAlthough some high-rises have popped up in the last few years, there's still no better spot for charming \r\n\r\ntownhouse apartments on quiet, tree-lined streets.\r\n

It \r\n\r\ncomprehends Hamilton Heights, Manhattanville, Bradhurst, Striver’s Row, and Sugar Hill.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nRedevelopment in the 1980s revived interest in the neighborhood and Harlem began to see rapid \r\n\r\ngentrification in the late 1990s. The number of housing units in Harlem increased 14% between 1990 and \r\n\r\n2000 and the rate of increase has been much more rapid in recent years. Property values in Central Harlem \r\n\r\nincreased nearly 300% during the 1990s, while the rest of the City saw only a 12% increase. \r\n

\r\nBeautiful brownstones and stately row houses line the leafy eastern streets of Hamilton Heights. Significant \r\n\r\nnew development is happening in Manhattanville in addition to the proposed expansion of Columbia \r\n\r\nUniversity. Strivers Row houses are among the very few private homes in Manhattan that have space for \r\n\r\nparking, giving up the backyard space. With the post-1995 real estate boom in Harlem, many of these \r\n\r\nbuildings are being restored to something resembling their original condition. Every one of the Strivers Row \r\n\r\nhouses is a designated landmark. The buildings are lovely from the outside, and afford a striking view of the \r\n\r\nCity College of New York, atop the hill to the west. Named in 1919 for the \"sweet life\" of its residents, Sugar \r\n\r\nHill became known as a wealthy area. It was a popular residential area of rowhouses during the Harlem \r\n\r\nRenaissance, and famous residents included W.E.B. DuBois, Thurgood Marshall, Adam Clayton Powell, and \r\n\r\nDuke Ellington.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nThe Lower East Side has undergone gentrification in recent years and is increasingly populated by young \r\n\r\nprofessionals, artists, students, and hipsters. In the early 2000s, the gentrification of the East Village spread \r\n\r\nto the Lower East Side, making it one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Manhattan. Clinton Street and \r\n\r\nOrchard Street are lined with upscale restaurants and boutiques, although Orchard Street is still dominated \r\n\r\nby discount clothing stores. Several restaurants, bars, and galleries have opened below Delancey Street, \r\n\r\nespecially around the intersection of Broome and Orchard Streets. The neighborhood is a popular late night \r\n\r\ndestination. Clinton Street and Ludlow Street between Rivington Street and Stanton Street have a lively \r\n\r\nnightlife scene.\r\n

\r\nNolita (North of Little Italy), is a neighborhood in bounded on the north by Houston Street, on the east by the \r\n\r\nBowery, on the south roughly by Broome Street, and on the west roughly by Lafayette Street.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nThe neighborhood was long regarded as part of Little Italy, but lost its recognizable Italian character in \r\n\r\nrecent decades because of the migration of Italian-Americans out of Manhattan to other boroughs and to the \r\n\r\nsuburbs. In the second half of the 1990s, the neighborhood saw an influx of young urban professionals and \r\n\r\nan explosion of expensive retail boutiques and trendy restaurants and bars. The name that stuck was \r\n\r\nNolita, an abbreviation for North of Little Italy as a newly upscale neighborhood. \r\n

\r\nThe neighborhood includes St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, at the corner of Mott and Prince Streets, which \r\n\r\nopened in 1815 and was rebuilt in 1868 after a fire. Another neighborhood landmark is the Puck Building, \r\n\r\nan ornate structure built in 1885 on the corner of Houston and Lafayette Streets, which originally housed the \r\n\r\nheadquarters of the now-defunct Puck Magazine.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nIn the 1970s, the huge quantity of 19th century cast-iron structures in this downtown area, especially the \r\n\r\nupper stories which became known as lofts, attracted artists who valued the spaces for their large areas, \r\n\r\nlarge windows admitting natural light and affordable rents. \r\n

\r\nThe neighborhood rose to fame as a neighborhood for artists during the 1960s and 1970s. Today, SoHo is \r\n\r\nhome to galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and young urban professionals. SoHo's location, the appeal of \r\n\r\nlofts as living spaces, its architecture and, ironically, its \"hip\" reputation as a haven for artists all contributed \r\n\r\nto this change. SoHo's boutiques and restaurants are clustered in the northern area of the neighborhood, \r\n\r\nalong Broadway and Prince and Spring streets.\r\n

\r\nNeighborhood in lower Manhattan, occupying a trapezoidal parcel bounded to the north by Canal Street, to \r\n\r\nthe east by Broadway, to the south by Barclay Street, and to the west by the Hudson River; the name was \r\n\r\nadopted by real estate developers in the mid 1970s and stands for \"triangle below Canal.\"\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nTriBeCa was an industrial district, dominated by warehouse structures, that in the last decade has \r\n\r\nundergone a major revitalization, making it one of the most expensive zip codes in all of Manhattan. Many \r\n\r\nwarehouses have been converted to livable residential lofts and new businesses which emerged make the \r\n\r\nneighborhood much more like a community than an industrial district. Residents like the neighborhood for \r\n\r\nits vibrancy, as well as for the solitude and harmony achieved by mixed zoning.\r\n

\r\nTriBeCa is now a fashionable residential neighborhood with an affluent population. Many of the streets are \r\n\r\nlined with boutique shops and high-end restaurants such as Nobu, Chanterelle, and Bouley. TriBeCa is also \r\n\r\nhome to the TriBeCa Film Festival. The neighborhood is a frequent filming location for movies.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nThis neighborhood encompasses some of the highest income per capita zip codes in the nation. Most of the \r\n\r\nmansions built at the turn of the 20th century along Fifth Avenue were demolished in two waves of luxury \r\n\r\nhigh-rise development, the first in the Roaring Twenties, the second following Word War II. In response to \r\n\r\nthe first building boom, Madison Avenue's brownstones were altered to provide neighborhood shops and \r\n\r\nservices for an expanding number of affluent apartment dwellers. The post World War II boom has \r\n\r\nextended to present day. It transformed practically every Upper East Side development site into gold and \r\n\r\nturned Madison Avenue into the ultrachic shopping street for wealthy Americans - and internationals as well. \r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe neighborhood features two of the most exclusive residential thoroughfares in the city, the \r\n\r\naforementioned Fifth Avenue on Central Park and Park Avenue. The neighborhood is known for three \r\n\r\nHistoric Districts: the Upper East Side Historic District, the Metropolitan Museum Historic District, and the \r\n\r\nCarnegie Hill Historic District. The neighborhood hosts museum mile, in addition to boasting great shopping \r\n\r\nareas and many restaurants. It is growing area with many new converted condos in the recent years and \r\n\r\nnew businesses.\r\n

There are many secret \r\n\r\ncourtyards and small gardens nestled between townhouses in the residential blocks of Greenwich Village. \r\n\r\nAlthough some high-rises have popped up in the last few years, there's still no better spot for charming \r\n\r\ntownhouse apartments on quiet, tree-lined streets.\r\n\r\n

\r\nBath Beach once described the beach resort specifically as part of the community of Bath, New York. Bath \r\n\r\nand Bath Beach are now more or less synonymous.

\r\nBay Ridge was given its name because of its proximity to New York Bay and excellent views from Ridge \r\n\r\nBoulevard. These views attracted the wealthy to build extravagant million dollar summer homes along \r\n\r\nShore road overlooking the water. Many Manhattan workers looking for quieter surroundings also populate \r\n\r\nthe neighborhood. Bay Ridge is famous as the set for the 1977 movie Saturday Night Fever. A few famous \r\n\r\npersonalities hail from Bay Ridge, including actor and current \"The Sopranos\" regular, Dan Grimaldi.\r\n

\r\nBay Ridge residents enjoy a diversity of dining establishments, such as those lining 3rd Avenue, given the \r\n\r\nlocal nickname of \"Restaurant Row.\" There is also a thriving bar scene, with residents frequenting the Irish \r\n\r\npubs abounding along 3rd, 4th, and 5th Avenues, the main commercial strips of the neighborhood.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nThe neighborhood name is an extension of the name of the Village of Bedford, expanded to include the area \r\n\r\nof Stuyvesant Heights. In the last decades of the 19th century, most of the pre-existing wooden homes were \r\n\r\ndestroyed and replaced with brownstone row houses, which are highly sought after in the neighborhood's \r\n\r\ncontemporary renaissance. In the late 1980s, the neighborhood began to experience a renaissance which \r\n\r\ncontinues to the present day, which has greatly improved and increasingly stabilized the community. The \r\n\r\nrevitalization and renewal of Bedford-Stuyvesant has prompted an increasingly diverse range of people to \r\n\r\nseek affordable housing among the many blocks of handsome brownstone townhouses. The gentrification \r\n\r\nhas rehabilitated and reoccupied formerly vacant and abandoned properties. As a result, Bedford \r\n\r\nStuyvesant is becoming increasingly racially and ethnically diverse.

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nBensonhurst derives its name from Arthur W. Benson, the former president of Brooklyn Gas. Between 1835 \r\n\r\nand 1850 Benson divided the farmland into lots that were sold in the following decades as part of the newly \r\n\r\ncreated suburb of Bensonhurst. Its main thoroughfare, 86th Street between roughly 14th Avenue and \r\n\r\nStillwell Avenue, is lined with predominantly small, Italian family-owned businesses—many of which have \r\n\r\nremained in the same family for several generations—and is straddled by the elevated BMT West End Line \r\n\r\nof the New York City Subway.\r\n

\r\nCurrently the neighborhood is undergoing a transformation; many of the original houses dating back over 90 \r\n\r\nyears ago are being torn down and replaced by three-story brick apartment buildings and multi-family \r\n\r\ndwellings. As a result, Bensonhurst is becoming a more integrated neighborhood as more diverse \r\n\r\npopulations have moved in. Visitors from throughout the New York City metropolitan area flock to the \r\n\r\nneighborhood each year in late August or early September to take part in the colorful Santa Rosalia Festival, \r\n\r\nheld on 18th Avenue from Bay Ridge Parkway (75th Street) to 69th Street.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nResidential development of Bushwick began in earnest after the completion of the elevated railroad in 1889, \r\n\r\nbringing a wave of European immigrants who settled in the neighborhood. The advent of the 21st Century \r\n\r\nsaw a shortage of cheap housing in \"hip\" neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Gowanus \r\n\r\nand a new influx of young residents and artists moved into converted-warehouse lofts, brownstones, and \r\n\r\nother renovated buildings in Bushwick. As a result, property values are increasing from speculation, and has \r\n\r\nbecome one of the most sought after areas in Brooklyn.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nCobble Hill is a Brooklyn neighborhood that sits adjacent to Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights with Carroll \r\n\r\nGardens to the south. The area is centered on two main roads - Court and Smith Street. Family-run shops \r\n\r\nare Cobble Hill's biggest attraction; Italian meat markets and old time barber shops mixing with trendy new \r\n\r\nrestaurants. Smith Street is known as Brooklyn's \"Restaurant Row\" due to the large number of eateries and \r\n\r\nwatering holes that opened on the street during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Cobble Hill Park, at the \r\n\r\nintersection of Congress and Clinton Streets, was reconstructed in 1989 and reflects the brick and stone \r\n\r\ncharacter of this tree lined neighborhood. \r\n

\r\nUntil the 1970s, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens were, together, known as \"South Brooklyn,\" even though \r\n\r\nthey are in the northwest portion of the borough, because they were south of the original settlement in what \r\n\r\nis now Brooklyn Heights and downtown Brooklyn.

\r\nDowntown Brooklyn is the third largest central business district in New York City (following Midtown \r\n\r\nManhattan and Downtown Manhattan).

Today, the area is a newly rezoned and growing commercial district, and it \r\n\r\nincludes MetroTech Center, Brooklyn Borough Hall, the Kings County New York State courthouse, and the \r\n\r\ncentral courthouse for the Federal Eastern District of New York. \r\n

\r\nSince 2003, the area has attracted significant new residential development with plans for significant rezoning \r\n\r\nin Downtown Brooklyn, including the Fulton Mall area, which will result in significant expansion of office \r\n\r\nspace and ground-floor retail. The rezoning consists of \"zoning map and zoning text changes, new public \r\n\r\nopen spaces, pedestrian and transit improvements, urban renewal, and street mappings.\"\r\n

\r\nOne of DUMBO's main attractions is its excellent views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Lower \r\n\r\nManhattan. There are several public places where these views can be enjoyed. These include Fulton Ferry, \r\n\r\nEmpire-Fulton State Park and the newly constructed Brooklyn Bridge Park.

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nSheepshead Bay is a bay separating the mainland of Brooklyn, New York City from the eastern portion of \r\n\r\nConey Island, the latter originally a barrier island but now effectively an extension of the mainland with \r\n\r\npeninsulas both east and west. The bay itself was originally the easterly entrance to Coney Island Creek but \r\n\r\nfilling of the central part of this waterway during the 1930s in conjunction with construction of the Shore \r\n\r\nParkway portion of the Belt Parkway eliminated access to the creek. At the same time the bay was widened \r\n\r\nat its western end, deepened and bulk headed. It is now the home of recreational fishing fleets. Sheepshead \r\n\r\nBay is named for the sheepshead, an edible fish once found in the bay's waters. It is a mostly residential \r\n\r\ncommunity, with significant restaurant and tourist facilities near that have enjoyed substantial revival.\r\n

\r\nDescription\r\n

\r\nWilliamsburg is home to many ethnic groups, a thriving art community, and, increasingly, commuters to \r\n\r\nManhattan. The area originally called Williamsburg is today referred to as \"South Williamsburg.\" North of \r\n\r\ntraditional Williamsburg is an area known as the \"South Side.\" To the north of that is an area known as the \r\n\r\n\"North Side,\" which now hosts increasing numbers of hipsters: artists and those who wish to associate with \r\n\r\nartists. So-called East Williamsburg is home to many industrial spaces. The hipster center of Williamsburg \r\n\r\nradiates from the strip of Bedford Avenue near the Bedford Avenue Station on the L train, the first stop from \r\n\r\nManhattan. Since the 1990s a flood of artists out of areas such as SoHo began to move into Williamsburg \r\n\r\nfor cheap rent and convenient transportation, one subway stop from Manhattan. The community was small \r\n\r\nat first, but by 1996 Williamsburg had accumulated an extensive artist population numbering in the \r\n\r\nthousands.\r\n

\r\nIn recent years, Williamsburg has become a rival to Manhattan as a home for live music and new bands. \r\n\r\nJazz has begun to find a foothold in Williamsburg as well, with classic jazz full time at restaurant venues. \r\n\r\nLow rents were a major reason why artists first started settling in the area, but that situation has changed \r\n\r\nsince the mid 1990s. The North Side above Grand Street, which separates the North Side from the South \r\n\r\nSide, is somewhat more expensive, due to its proximity to the L and G train lines. More recent gentrification, \r\n\r\nhowever, has prompted an increased interest below Grand Street as well. With a new waterfront park and \r\n\r\nesplanade, and high-rise construction holds great promise for the future of Williamsburg and will further \r\n\r\ncement its solid reputation as a premier New York City residential neighborhood.\r\n
