Neighborhood Profiles

Brooklyn Heights

Brooklyn Heights is New York City’s first historic district, famous for its grand architecture and the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Offering some of the most breathtaking views of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, the neighborhood exudes a quiet, old-world elegance. The real estate market is characterized by magnificent pre-war townhouses, sought-after cooperatives, and a select few ultra-luxury waterfront developments along Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Chinatown

Chinatown occupies a dense section of Lower Manhattan centered on Canal Street, where 10 subway lines converge including the 6, J, N, Q, R, W, and Z trains, making it one of the most transit-rich neighborhoods below 14th Street. The housing stock consists primarily of prewar walk-up buildings alongside newer condominium developments and the 44-story Confucius Plaza residential tower. Columbus Park, one of the city's earliest public parks, and the 7.8-acre Sara D. Roosevelt Park provide open green space along the neighborhood's edges.
