Neighborhood Profiles

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.

East Village

The East Village remains New York’s epicenter of counter-culture and artistic expression. Known for its vibrant street life, community gardens, and legendary music venues, the neighborhood offers an energy unlike any other. The real estate market is characterized by historic tenement-style cooperatives, charming low-rise walk-ups, and a growing selection of modern boutique condominiums that offer luxury amenities in the heart of Downtown.
