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.

Lincoln Square

Lincoln Square sits at the crossroads of Broadway and Columbus Avenue, anchored by Lincoln Center and bordered by Central Park to the east and Riverside Park to the west. The housing stock features luxury doorman condominiums, established pre-war cooperatives, and full-service residential towers, with the 1 and 2 trains at 66th Street providing direct subway access. Residents enjoy proximity to Columbus Circle, world-class performing arts venues, and two of Manhattan's signature green spaces.
